Turkey Before the Gates Of Hell in Kurdistan

Submitted by Ottoman soldier, Feb 22, 2008 05:17

Turkey as a member of NATO had to fight in the korean war along with the EU. They sent 5000 troops, second largest force after USA, to fight against the enemy. They were the only troops that never retreated. 5000 turks had to fight off 30 000 north koreans and 140 000 chinese. The turks were fighting and dieing, and while they were doing that, the Brits and the US were retreating. The turks saved US 2nd division from being massacred and more battalions from being surrounded. They are a true ally. I myself am a turk and i feel proud. These so called PKK will never succedd in what they want. They train kids age of 15 to fight and die. Us turks feel as bad killing children as the Kurds living in south east turkey feel about pkk. They got no supporters, no remorce and eventually no future. If any of you Pkk supporters read this, give them a message. Lay down their arms and surrender. If not, they will die. Turkey has been watched by god for hundreds of years. We ruled the world, the ottomans ruled the world. Theres a reason we still around. TURK 4 LIFE.
