Middle East Eye: Turkish military hit by raft of resignations amid Idlib predicament
Five generals reportedly resign over re-assignment dissatisfaction, as Ankara's troops seek to extricate themselves from tricky situation in Syria.
Five Turkish generals are reportedly seeking to retire from the military after being tasked with operations along the southern border and in Syria's Idlib, handing the army another headache as it grapples with a tense situation in the Syrian province.
Two Turkish officials confirmed to Middle East Eye that some generals have asked for retirement but declined to provide further comment.
Major-General Ahmet Ercan Corbaci, the joint special task force commander responsible for mechanised infantry forces in Idlib, and his deputy, Brigadier-General Ertugrul Saglam, were among the officers who wanted to step down, according to Turkish media reports on Monday.

5:03 ANON,
Everything said about liberals was accurate. They are cowardly. Why tell the Brasilians the have a problem but not the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. There are more fires in Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Trust me you damnable liberal. Trust when I say the Brasilians hate you. Back in the day
(1970s) there were people saying that the Amazon should not be developed, because it was the lungs of the world.
You not what the Brasilians said? They said that if Brasil had developed the Amazon basin before the Americans had developed the Mississippi basin they could say the same thing.
Point of fact is that Brazilians think American liberals a virtue signalling idiots.
Ask them about. They will tell you what they think. They do not have any white guilt. They are Latinos after all. And they eat American marines for breakfast.
The polls were wrong going back to 2000 m on presidential elections. Polls are used as weapons over the long term to shape public opinion. Polls oversample some groups over others to demoralize certain groups and make futre polls come out the way they want.
Polls said Wilder would win as governor of Virginia. He did not. People lied to the pollsters so as to not appear racist. It is called the Wilder effect.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_effect
People get beat up the time for wearing MAGA hats. When a pollster calls you, will you telly the mangy MFer what you really think or what they want to hear? They know your phone # and where you live. You do not know their name or address. You are going to lie to the mangy MFers.
PS: Remember Epstein threatened teenagers with his buddy's name. The name was Bill Clinton. It is what some have said in deposition. Life is good as a Democrat.
