I expect the Greek air force is outclassed, but I'd sure like to encourage the Greeks to kick some Turkish asses in the air, by land, or at sea. A Philhellene can hope to restore the Byzantine Empire, can't he? On to Constantinople!! |

The irony is that Turkey has pretty much gotten over the whole Greek obsession; their western, southern, and northern borders are a lot more problematic. |
