When I was in the Military and sent to another country...I toured as much as possible...as the opportunity arose (and of course I was not the only one that did so).

This does, of course, happen. I'd suggest though that this more pure, genuine form of tourism is not as common as the head-down-to-mama-sans-for-a-bud type.
Can your brother provide some reasonably objective number of, say, what percentage of his unit did that more touristy stuff? (I don't mean going straight from okinawa to roppongi either, that's basically just long-distance night clubbing!)
