Yes Turkey sent soldiers to the Korean War, but how many? 5460
I know the stories of heroism of Turkish soldiers i read them many years ago and they indeed brought tears to my eyes. But emotions aside, how can you call that a full scale war? We sent maybe less than 1% of our soldiers.
Let me give some perspective
Iran-Iraq war
Iran
About 2-3 million soldiers fought and about 1-1,5 million casualty. Now that is a real war in modern history.
We need to get over our chest thumping and face the realities. Yes our military industry is growing rapidly, but if we are to be honest, we haven't had any real war experience for almost 100 years other than Cyprus and mini operations in North Iraq (mostly aerial).
Have you heard about samples, that how statistics are done too!
