U.S. Soldiers abroad proving themselves anything but ambassadors of good will (in 1945)

Life, Nov. 26, 1945 (p. 29):

In France the hard feelings between the French people and the U.S. soldiers were boiling over in riots and mutual recriminations. GIs in Le Havre, angrily impatient to get home, rampaged throughout the town. The French were complaining that GIs acted more like conquerors than allies. The soldiers were replying bitterly that the "frogs" were cheating and over-charging them outrageously. General Eisenhower acknowledged that U.S. Soldiers abroad were proving themselves anything but ambassadors of good will. Among both French and Americans the friction was deplored, although it was not entirely unexpected of a war-battered people and an idle army.
