The members of the Peace Corp are also known for their bad behavior. I had a friend who went to East Africa to work with a Christian Charity. Most villages would not allow them in until they proved that they were not Peace Corp members.
My friend told me of one incident when a village headman chastized a pair of Peace Corp volunteers for some bad behavior. They came back to his village a few days later and danced naked on the roof of his house to humiliate him.
Our government cannot, because of lawsuits, screen out people of low morals. Thus, a program designed to promote America while helping others, is causing anti-American feelings around the world.
