I hope not but you never know with american atitudes
I think there is a fair portion of Americans that do have an atitude problem with people from other countries, allies included.. so god help you if you're seen as a legitimate enemy.

Still, we don't know if it's anything to do with overall atitudes in America, or poor training and lack of discipline in the ranks, as the majority do manage to do their jobs the best they can, and in pretty difficult circumstances too.

It does seem to me though, they really do need to psychologically evaluate their overseas killing machines a little more thoroughly, as clearly, the consequences can be quite dire when just one of them breaks their programing.
