So my city is a popular stopover for many different types of people. One being many members of the US Armed Forces.

Last weekend i was walking through one of the many big malls here, and couldnt but help notice that there'd been an influx of US Armed forces personnel in the country who so happened to stopover in DXB.

It's quite common to see young buff people here, just as you would in any other city. But anytime theres a stopover by one of the Armed Forces, it's really easy to spot. I mean, REALLLY easy!

a typical member of the armed forces looks like this...

1) walks like a tank from all the months pumping iron out at sea or in camp
2) sports a crew cut or shaved head
3) walk around with backpacks
4) walks around in groups of two or three
5) wear 3 quarter length pants
6) talk on the top of their lungs with an american accent


my question is, what ever happened to stealth?

do these guys intentionally want to be spotted? or does the US tell these guys to try and blend in? because if they do, these guys do a really bad job.

This place is by far the safest city ive ever been to. there are no security concerns, no guns, violence is rarely heard of (though becoming more common), women walk the streets without fear, theres no graffiti etc. And a lot of this has to do with the security forces here. So i see no threat to the personal safety of the members US Armed Forces. However, if these guys stick out like dogs balls in other more hostile territories, they're asking for trouble.


Does the US armed forces teach stealth in a normal setting?

if so, how? if not, why not?
