I have to say, I do find it somewhat comical that anyone would have the gaul to accuse ONLY "Western" soldiers of lacking cultural compassion.
How many times throughout history has one army burned the city, and the religious/cultural hubs therein, during or following a war?
The whole concept of the "ugly American" is bull - there are just as many "ugly" Frenchmen, British, Africans, Middle Easterners and Asians.
The reality is, there are just *beep* people out there - lots of them - that are bad people because they are bad people - not because they are American or Christian or Muslim or anything else. They are just bad people, and bad people tend to do bad things. Dont go blaming someones race/ethnicity/country (or Hemisphere in this case) of origin for their flaws/misdeeds.
