History has a lot to do with how I feel about guns. I've a hankering for the American classics that I can't extend to later ones. I respect Turkey, and haven't forgotten their extraordinary valour in the Korean war. I don't think there was a single Turkish POW. I wish them well with their guns.
King, if I recall correctly, there WERE Turkish PW's. Not many of them, of course, compared to Americans, but there weren't that many Turks there either, total, in comparison to Americans. What I think you're remembering is that as captives, none of the Turks broke faith with their fellow PW's. Sadly, that was not the case with American PW's in Korea. At least that's the story I recall being told when we in the American military had to memorize the Code of Conduct, which came about because of the Korean War experience.
