Well, as long as a soldier is essentially a guest in a foreign country it is not wrong to expect them to not make asses of themselves.
Just like our female soldiers have absolutely no business laying out in a bikini in public in the muslim world.
There is tolerance and then there is blatant stupidity.
Dlish may be a bit oversensitive, but IF soldiers are acting unusually loud and inappropriately dressed then he does not need to tolerate it any more than we need to allow Muslim men in the United States to force their wives to wear Burkhas.
But, to steal a line from South Park "Tolerance means you have to tolerate something, not that you have to like it." Dlish seems to be tolerating just fine, but feels offended enough to share his experience here.
