Greetings, a technical problem and some opinions.

Turkey?
I spend a year at Incerlik. Very eye-opening. Sometimes I wish I could throw kids right out of high school into another country so they can crack the cement-hard american attitude they grow up with.

Oh wait, the military does that. Come to think of it, that how I ended up there.

Don't worry. "Teh foriegners be teh weird lol" attitude is in every culture, including us. Every kid needs some country exchange for a few days, to boost empathy amongst nations.

You from USAF? It's not so liked nowadays, with an American officer insulting, beating and forcibly arresting a Turkish high ranking officer made many people truly despise you guys. You may not hear this from a citizen, but trust me. Your superiors need a lesson in foreign relations 101.

I totally agree.

And I was USAF. Retired now
