Now you are heading nearer the truth ...
They had stopped being students! They had military training! They were soldiers at the time they invaded/attacked Cyprus to aid Turkey.
Now fuck off from wasting my time!
No they had not stopped being students. They came to aid ther TC friends and went back and finished their education and two became teachers. No go and do something useful like "58" idle cira.
No difference from GC soldiers. Do their service and then carry on with their studies. Would you not call someone in the NG a soldier because next month he'll be in Edinburgh studying marine biology?
Is it really the same? Was he taken out of his classes, put through the mill for some days and dropped in the middle of a firing range surrounded by the enemy. I expect a higher standard of comparison from certain members.
Mishimu my back side be ciracik.
FUnny thing happened to my cousin Nicos, was in the army a total of 2 weeks when your planes started bombing the Cypriot towns and countryside in 74. He went straight to war. Was he a student or a soldier?
What's even FUnnier, is that I was a student in London in 74, as a 16 year old and I had not bought any planes as yet. But I do remember going to the chemist shop and asking for a packet of aspirin and winking at the lovely lady behind the counter as I had a date with a lovely GC lady called Maria who lived in Turnpike lane.
