A friend of mine used to be in the Air Force. When he wanted to travel behind the Iron Curtain (back when it still stood) he was told not to take anything that could identify him as American military. That’s just common sense in “enemy territory”.
Now the Pentagon is having to give similar advice to personnel traveling in real enemy territory.
Update:
Uncle Jimbo has the right idea.
Big Update:
Perhaps it’s not as bad, or real, as we thought.
