Rag tag army? If you say so.

But wait, I can't recall a friendly fire incident when Turkey invaded other than the Greek Noratlas Mission into Nicosia Airport which was mainly due to Greek Incompetence since they failed to inform the CNG.

We even had 300 rag tag EOKA fighters who proved the British were even more rag tag! :)

The truth is that we could of have prevented the 74 destruction if it wasn't all betrayed from the beginning.

Each reservist is the custodian of the specific serial number so anyone who loses his rifle is liable for serious imprisonment and fine, so don’t believe pub stories about selling them and such!
