>>I had some acquaintances when I was in the military, who fought side by side with Turkish soldiers in Korea. The Turks had two classes of soldier – volunteer and drafted. They were paid differently. Volunteer soldiers were treated harshly.
This is intriguing. Why were volunteers discriminated against? A volunteer army has proved repatedly to be better than a consripted army. What incentive is this to volunteer? If you wait to be drafted you're treated better. It makes no sense!

>>A volunteer in the Turkish army at this time did not make enough money to buy a pack of cigarettes. Sergeants would beat them for any reason. Again, drafted men were not treated in this manner. Have things changed with the Turkish army. If so, how?

>Formerly volunteer soldiers were treated so harshly. Now only treated harshly...
>They can buy cigarettes now. Which case is better?.. Cigarettes kill... :)
Again, WHY would anyone volunteer!!??????
- Whoever said that women are the weaker sex never tried to wrest the bedclothes off one in the middle of the night
- Worry is the interest you pay, in advance, for a loan that you may never need to take out.
