I wondered about this after seeing some clips from the Palm Beach Post.

The one entitled 'blood clot' shows some soldiers - to the point of booting one restrained fellow to the head - showing some frustration in dealing with the local population.
It seems to me that learning some simple Arabic could smooth situations like this over a bit ..and I presume make thing a bit easier generally. However, I am an armchair soldier, so I would be very interested in hearing what some who have been abroad have to say.
Cheers.
