I quoted 1/3 of said chapter.
Its not unfeasible considering it iss related to the question I am asking.
I.e. you're intelligent enough to carry out the mission but too dumb/patriotic to really understand the consequences.“Diopos Papadopoulos, you come highly recommended” The Admiral said
A.K.A. suicide mission"But afterwards, you will know that you will have won the peace, if you survive.”
Before WW1 the U.S. considered the Empire the biggest threat and made it's military accordingly. The same way of thinking still applies, the U.S. will shape it's military against the biggest perceived threat, Deutschland's alliance system.Do you really think the Americans will want to spend all that money? I'm not so sure they will want to ITTL. Mainly because they don't have a power hegemony over the rest of the world. And there is no Cold War, and thus no boogeyman, to drive the military complex. If there even is a decently sized military complex, since they didnt really participate in WW2, and the action in Mexico wasn't a large enough conflict to really set it up.
I do really think the Americans would like to upgrade their military equipment, but that they will be too stingy to actually do it.
I really think we as readers are stilling assigning too much power to TTL America. Their military(army & navy) just isn't there due to the non-participation of WW2
It's easy to see the results and say it was stupid. The Turks didn't have that though. As we have now seen they had information pointing to a likely victory and with the strategic situation decided it was a situation the couldn't let pass.At this point, it looks (to the rest of the world) that the Turks took stupid pills. I suspect Turkey has something of an unearned reputation as a third-rate military...
..."we had no idea they'd ram their heads into a brick wall like that" as the Turks just being the Turks.
True and we are seeing evidence of this but don't underestimate the influence of peer group cohort support and therapeutic intervention. That they have a Sisterhood will to some extent serve to help keep them on the rails. Part of the problem with PTSD survivors is that they are no longer able to remain in the Army/Navy/Marines/Air Force and are bereft of the support of their peers.As the years pass on by, we are going to see the Sisterhood suffer from the effects of the physical, mental, and emotional abuse from their years in state care.
Some of it will be chronic physical ailments that will range from manageable to debilitating to the point that the sufferers can't function.
On the emotional and mental side there will be behaviors in which some of the abused will become the abusers themselves and some will engage in reckless ways including things like excessive gambling, extremely dangerous physical activities, and in some cases seeking relationships both emotional and sexual that is inappropriate.
While not all of them will go through this, it will affect everyone around them
Careful FB, we don't want bear sightings around here.
Chlorine trifluoride for the win?...
And the Greeks just went and pissed away the moral high ground, committed war crimes, and justified almost anything the United States wants to send to Turkey all in one move.
And put a bunch of egg all over UK and Germany's faces.

The Bear is not the one to fear, it's the ones who hide in the shadows.
Watching.
Waiting.
I don't know about the war crimes, but I believe that talks were going on, so Russia, Germany and the UK just got an international embarrassment.
Right. Do you want to fight him with your bare hands? Against *his* bear hands?
