Hey people ?
Remember when Erdogan and his people said it was only a 'small' coup.
Fired over 2,745 judges.
Almost over 3000 military personnel have been 'detained'.

What I don't understand is how the 2nd largest army in NATO (behind USA) cannot take over, via. A coup?

Yep, that's the beginning of the general purge.
Maybe there were a total of 3,000-ish military personnel involved in the coup attempt - if you count every solider including conscripts following orders (and might be shot for not following).
But, 2,700+ judges? That's just the executive branch purging the judicial branch of people they don't like.
So much for Turkish democracy.

Since when are judges part of the military? Won't see any cutting edge reporters asking that question on the MSM broadcasts.

When was the last time a countries military flooded the streets and tried to take over their government? This would be a huge moment in history and the news did not seem very impressed with what was happening. I could be wrong about everything I have said. I am in no way saying I know anything about this event. I am just sharing my first thoughts. These thoughts can completely change with more information.

Egypt is the last time I can remember. However in the case of Turkey it's relatively common, this is I think the 4th time it's happened in the past 95 years.
