Turks also rank high on any sane man's list of
"people not to mess with." They don't play around. I've had several Air Force friends who spent time in Turkey tell me about the place, things like a quota on how many enlisted men the officers can kill in any given month. It sounds like an urban legend but when several different people who all spent time in the country say the same thing over a period of many years, it makes me wonder if it's true.
