In 74 the Turks attacked with all the advantage of a modern military with a Navy and Airforce against a small terribily armed National Guard force of 5,000 troops with no Navy and no Airforce. Still Turks lost over 3,000 troops, many aircraft and the Turks sunk their own flagship. They made up for their failures by killing civilians and POWs, I guess that is what you mean by "ferocity" kill civilians and call it a victory thats the Turkish way.

Then you have no worries feel free to attack and unleash a sub standard army clearly you have no worries or concerns therefore you will have no problems defeating them but dont expect them to take it on the chin. Ill tell you something about Turks they are the best most generous people in the world but you try and wrong them and they will have no problems cutting your head off.....easy really you play with bombs you shouldnt cry when they explode.

I'm sorry if facts scare you. As for Yankee Doodle Dandy. I was in the American military and we had to train with Turks or train them would better describe it. My personal experince is as follows. The TAF special forces could not keep up on a 14 mile run with us, they cried during cold water trainning, got lost on thier own trainng course during mock counter insurgent drill. Ohh but they were just like every other Turk just deny it and call yourself a stud maybe you could find a civilian to beat up.

The counter argument to your point is, if Turkey is so super confident of its superiority why does it feel it needs to have 40 000 soldiers and 400 tanks with full air and naval support on Cyprus. The Americans hold a nation about the size of Turkey, and 30 million people, with barely three times as many soldiers and far fewer planes.
Obviously Turkey feels it must maintain this crushing local superiority because it fears to let go.
War is by definition umpredictable. If it was not no one would ever fight. So do not be too cocky that the Turkish army cannot be defeated, all armies can be defeated by anyone willing to pay the price. GCs are not, at the moment, willing to pay the price.
