Yeh, the Americans aren't really geard towards this kind of stuff, and from the looks of it at this point, the people their scraping up to put on the ground would have a tough time counting to 10 let alone understanding cultural or religious subtleties. One of many reasons they shouldn't be there at all. But, the problem with the militia thing... it's probably alright if it's your militia, but if it's someone elses militia that has rolled in, it's probably not going to end so well.
