International Times - 09APR16 - Militia Forming in Eastern Erzikistan

[Oakley]

Leave the politics for politicians, if our Commander in Chief says that we will go there, we will be there, once down range the only thing that matters is the man next to you and that should be our priority, do our job and bring all our teammates back alive.

Well, with turkey being a member of NATO, a single mistake from this new militia hitting anything turkish could result in Turkey using their Paragraph 5 option (The Musketeer Oath) and at that point, either NATO helps or folds.

Well, hopefully it will all resolve itself somewhat peacefully.

If I remember correctly, Turkey pulled out of NATO and put that allotment back into their economy. (reference article about the strikes).

Erzikistan backed out of NATO. Turkey has done nothing. Turkey and Erzikistan are two different places.

If I remember correctly, Turkey pulled out of NATO and put that allotment back into their economy. (reference article about the strikes).

I stand corrected

Looking at all this, I can't help but feel that whatever forces, if any, are sent in to quell the discontent will have one hell of a bad time. Seems like a situation where peacekeeping forces will be disliked by every emerging armed group. The major conflicts that come to mind are Vietnam and Mogadishu, but I pray it doesn't get that bad. Regardless, I'm polishing my rotor blades and checking my instruments. I'm prepared to step in when it gets hairy.

Havoc 2-4 ready for duty when our Commander In Chief says it is time to go... I don't worry about politics, I am a soldier. If your here for politics and to criticize how America takes action and when, an American based military realism unit may not be your cup of tea...
