I think they got the service they did because the lead guy doing the talking is dressed like an off duty US Army guy and has the haircutā€¦also is familiar with culture and their military ranks. So I am sure the Iraqi Military picked up on that fast and came to a conclusion.

I laughed at them wearing shorts and being advised by the Iraqi military that was not considered acceptable. I think it should have been obvious to them they were underdressed by looking around. They never did change because they got off the train in Basra wearing shorts again.
