It's still American culture, but the military is its own culture. Can't say I've completely cracked the code on it.<br /><br />But, I love reading about the culture and language in other countries. Some people don't like the detail in Stiegg Larsson's series, but I love knowing where his Swedish characters shop and what they eat!Guineverehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058786129073896210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248193231958936629.post-4118189098140439772010-09-09T10:27:22.657+10:002010-09-09T10:27:22.657+10:00Write for yourself and don't worry about it to...Write for yourself and don't worry about it too much. :-) <br /><br />If I use a term that my readers may not know, I'll describe the item or creature briefly, and flesh it out as I go along.
