Americans   living   outside   the   United   States   in   countries   which   have   laws   foreign   to   ours,   customs   we're   not all   totally   aware   of,   cultures   that   demand   certain   behaviors,   can   be   difficult   for   many...if   not   outright dangerous   to   the   individual's   well   being.   Most   Americans   try   very   hard   to   adapt   to   and   understand   the ways   of   the   host   countries   in   which   we   live   and   work.   Every   now   and   then   things   just   don't   go   right. Ignorance   of   a   host   country's   law   is   no   excuse,   and   unlike   in   America   when   a   foreign   visitor   runs   amok   of the    law    and    are    shown    much    leniency,    Americans    in    foreign    countries    are    usually    not    shown    any favoritism   if   they   are   involved   in   pure   accidents,   break   the   law,   or   ignore   a   host   country's   customs.   In March   of   2010   Ron   Robertson,   having   read   on-line   the   account   of   my   experiences   in   Turkey   during   the Jupiter   Missile   years,   emailed   me   with   anecdotes   to   two   of   the   stories   I'd   related...with   interesting   details.
