America doesn't have the attention span to hold a grudge
...except against France, which helped us when we were babies.
Mobilizing troops before the onset of hostilities as a show of "support" became the onset of hostilities in World War I, a detail that Belgium, and France, as the two major sites of that war, are not likely to have forgotten.
Also: Turkey's position in NATO has been problematic for members who are not the US. The US views Turkey as an ally because of its usefulness during the Cold War. The history of Turkey in Europe is considerably more complicated, involving as it does centuries of religious war and imperial occupation. With all the talk of the Arab "street", the European "street" seems to have been ignored by America's press. The Turks are not loved.
