It happens all the time Longwire. I had one complain a while back (not a Marine) because a General kept us waiting five whole minutes to see him. The General didn't know what time we would be there and in one of the hottest areas in the country, not to mention he has a brigade to run.
Visitors rarely take the time to learn anything at all about the target country. Shame too. The other thing is they don't realize they are visitors, no matter how long they are there.
Here's another one: Huge program set up without a site survey. Nobody even understood for years how the units being trained were T,O&Ed or how they operated. Never even asked to see an org chart.
It would be nice if they would at least learn to say "Good morning" in the host country language.
Rapport is a beautiful and misunderstood thang.

Apologizing Proudly
