I remember the days of being despised while in uniform and how dangerous it was being out in public, especially in California. We pretty much had to change in civies at a locker club for some sense of normality off the base. Hell, I was treated better by the elder Japanese than I was in Long Beach.

Of all the countries that I have been to, the only one still truly grateful for US soldiers/sailors was Australia. One couldn't buy a beer there; someone always stepped in and paid.

That. Australia was awesome.
