I think it's more a matter of communication. If the majority of people can't understand you, who's job is it to fix that? Rather than ten people using the language of one person, its more efficient if one person uses the language of ten people.
In regards to the topic, if the behavior of US troops is such as described, I agree that something certainly needs to be done about it, although something such as withdrawal is probably out of the question for a number of reasons in the minds of most. It is unacceptable for
any military body to behave in this manner in another country. Sadly it has been a characteristic of most military bodies to behave in such a fashion--at least inasmuch as they can get away with--when stationed in other countries, not simply the United States. Hopefully modern thought and politics will help to curb this behavior better than past precedent.
Unfortunately deployment does not function, and mostly could not afford to function, based on simple petty preferences of troops who do or do not want to be somewhere.
I only hope that this thread does not deteriorate into a US-bashing topic.
