“Avoid the attitude 'these people (locals) don't understand anything.' Trying to base one's authority on pressure and fear may be effective in the short term, but this is deceptive. Don't forget that to be smiling and kind is not the same as being weak and undisciplined.” ArmyTurkishTurkTurkic Author:Colonel Dağ
“Organize competitions to let the local people see that your sharpshooters shoot well. But don't allow the bodies of dead terrorists to be robbed. Don't show damaged bodies of terrorists in the village square to try to show 'this is what we can do'. This behavior may frighten the people but damages the image of a caring state.” ArmyTurkishTerroristsTurkicTurks Author:Colonel Dağ
