As to 1974, we all know they were not 'allowed' to wreck the southern flank of NATO.

I would never dare to tell these...

Why? Nothing wrong with the above is there. Even your buddy Yfred was surprised.
The Greeks fought as bravely in Korea as well as the Turkish brigade.
KEEP six honest serving-men
(They taught me all I knew);
Their names are What and Why and When
And How and Where and Who.
I send them over land and sea,
I send them east and west;
But after they have worked for me,
I give them all a rest.
I let them rest from nine till five,
For I am busy then,
As well as breakfast, lunch, and tea,
For they are hungry men.
But different folk have different views;
I know a person small-
She keeps ten million serving-men,
Who get no rest at all!
She sends'em abroad on her own affairs,
From the second she opens her eyes-
One million Hows, two million Wheres,
And seven million Whys!
Who said what? All I said was the comment that one of the Greek Generals made when asked to open up a northern front.
Reh Yero, what you saying, light the fanoz will you please?
