There are also foreign intelligence services here in their respective embassies as well.

Turkey is part of NATO, and while I want nothing to do with Americans being anywhere BUT our embassy there, I see nothing wrong with Germany and Holland manning Patriot sites for purely defensive reasons.

Just keep our men and women out of it.
