SSG Robert Mark Odom Had to Know that was Coming. Unfortunately. The US can no longer Negotiate from a Position of Strength. We Have Been Compromised.

Our relationship with the Turks on Incirlik AB have always been sort of sketchy. The Turks have always tracked every plane we flew in and insisted that none remain longer than 30 days regardless of maintenance status which has led to some amusing situations with tail swaps. All the dependents are out of Turkey now...it is no longer an accompanied tour and the majority of Americans assigned to Turkey outside of diplomatic staff are military. They would have a tough time taking control of those weapons without a major incident.

I would not be surprised if those bombs were removed a long time ago ever since the attempted overthrow of the current despot government back in 2015. The Turks deny Armenian Genocide ever happened.

LTC (Join to see) Officially the "Nukes" were Removed from Turkey as Part of the Agreement following the Cuba Missile Crisis. We Both Know Better.

LTC (Join to see) - That was a "Wink Wink Nudge Nudge" there are no "bombs" at Incirlik. I cannot confirm nor deny the presence of any "bombs" that may or may not have been inside any hardened aircraft structures (or any other designated storage area that may or may not have existed) that I may or may not have stood Close Sentry on.
