"The high school National Defense Knowledge textbook used in the 1950s is more direct in its assertations of the militarist character of the Turkish nation: "The Turkish nation is a healthy, strong, enduring, diciplined, and competent nation. Love for the homeland is very strong in Turks. Turks have a passion for their independence and honor.

Hahaha! That is priceless! It's Turkish propaganda is what it is says I!
