#1 I was asking myself, "Why Germany?"
Then I was thinking, "Growing industrial economy" when this struck me, "enrolling language and tactics advisory personnel in the military."

#2 Turks have been in Germany for quite a while now - I was amazed at how many ~~riffraff~~ of them I saw milling about in the local subways. At least military personnel are a few cuts above that.

#3 By that, I meant their military personnel.

#4 Turkey and Germany have longstanding ties dating not only to WWI, but to Prussia's de facto alliance with the Ottomans in the Austro-Turkish War in the late eighteenth century.

They're better off without each other, but they can't seem to learn.
