Blah, blah..... and we still stand undefeated against non-Turkics in Anatolia for a millennia. Bet Byzantines were doing assessments like you back in time.
Lost the ottoman empire = defeat.
Many wars against Russian factions resulted in defeats.
One can always say he did not lose it, many Americans will say they won the Vietnam war, others say they lost it. Saddam claimed he won the war against Iran, he claimed he won the war against the US in 1991 was they eventually left. Iran in 1988 claimed it won the war, but did they win? No.
Modern day Turkey since that republic was established did not face any major enemy on its own, the war of independence was fought whilst the Europeans were busy/just recovering from bombing each other to hell in WW1. It's far from comparable to something like the 1991 coalition that stood against Iraq.
1000 years from now the 2014 IS takeover might not even be mentioned as a loss for the Iraqi forces, just 2 years later they were back in Mosul. When you talk about battles fought thousands of years ago a tiny period of 1 or 2 years where the performance of one side in battles changed to the better or worse won't be mentioned by you or most people, you mention the end result hence it's very easy to paint every war as a victory.
Since PKK has bases in Iraq and launches attacks on Turkey from Iraq... we can always choose the option to invade northern Iraq....I wonder if Iraqi army would stand against us.
Done before in 2008, didn't help you. There's no ISF in Qandil, if you'd invade Tal Afar or Mosul then yes they would, you actually think they're afraid? The US and IS are more fierce in battle, don't overdo that nationalism.
I have posted my pic in the forum..you can judge by yourself.
I have served in 106th artillery regiment in Gaziantep/Islahiye. Were did you served ?
What did you do there besides fire some artillery shells on empty mountains and stand at a checkpoint, there is conscription there, it proves nothing. Many of my family members were conscripts but active in high intensity wars. Besides physically i'd easily pass those physical army tests but that's a different topic, we don't have conscription here.
They taught you a lot of nonsense, you used to say that TAF would steamroll all of northern Syria including the YPG. But look at the current situation, it's not that easy. What makes you think we are less capable than you are? 'We', you forget have seen more wars and have more recent experience. Every human has high motivation to survive, your nationalism blinds you.
