content: I have a different side as to how we are viewed overseas. I had a much better reply but I accidentally backed out and lost that shit so you get the shortened version. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Unified_Assistance So this is one of my many experiences overseas.   Before our involvement in this situation, our approval rating was piss poor in the region.  Something like 30%.  After everything we did, it ended up being somewhere around 80% or higher.  Also if you wiki a page about the majority religion in that area you might be surprised.    What I'm saying is that we are not looked at as a bunch of trigger happy psychos with no empathy.  (Our enemy has no uniform). We are not wanted over there.  Nor are we needed.  We are looked upon as nothing more than a bug to squash.
