Help wanted: Turkey advertises for special forces
Running short of personnel because of massive purges, Turkey's armed forces are trying to fill the void using civilians.
The Turkish military is looking for more than a few good men. Many, many more.
In fact, it needs so many replacements for the military personnel it has purged since a July 15 coup attempt, the government has actually been advertising in newspapers for people to fill almost 25,000 openings.
