Basic troubles have been blustering lack of tact and feeling by certain Americans dealing with proud and sensitive Turks; and on the other side, the Turk's distrust of any foreigner. The Turk regards the American he sees as a guy with a big mouth and no sense of military security. The Turks are actually quite right in playing things very carefully.
