World: Turkey’s top military commander, other leaders resign in protest
- Our guess: He resigned after seeing this terrible Photoshop job. For decades, Turkey’s military was seen as one of the country’s most powerful political pillars, one that protected the country’s secular roots. However, in recent years, they’ve faced increased opposition from Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and after a number of military officials faced arrest, many of Turkey’s top military leaders, including commander Gen. Isik Kosaner, above, resigned in protest — which gave Erdogan an opportunity to put the dude he wanted in Kosaner’s place, allowing him to assert more control over the military. Sounds messy. source
