Yes You Can, Norm

It is not an either/or world -- except in dictatorships. What is the US doing - pandering to *ANY* dictatorship? Asking its forces to behave as if in the Middle Ages? Is that what this Consumerhood ^h^h country is 'about' ?

One usually *chooses* to honor the customs of a country you are visiting voluntarily.. unless they are odious: then you take your chances by confronting these / or you leave.

See Todd's post re military being singled out. And.. she is not there voluntarily. She can't 'leave'. But she also does not need to be a wimp. Wimp, that is.
