Why are you showing such strong reaction? Didn't the Armed Forces limit itself to mercenary roles? Or just because we earn foreign currencies by lending them we have to coat their role with patriotic sugar?
People tend to ignore that if one of their parents is a foreigner then they carry only 50% foreign genes, the rest is indigenous. This becomes 25% if only a grandparent is a foreigner. The ratio would geometrically fall if we go back further. Even if the Arabs, Persians or Turks had killed all...
