First of all, when you say us darned arrogant Americans you need to speak for yourself.
Second, the President of the United States doesn't bow before anyone, nor does any American. Showing respect means a handshake, for an officer it means a salute. When we were trained in dealing with foreign officials, to include Monarchs, it was very clear, you do not bow before anyone. If a schmuck PFC can understand that, I see no reason why his commander in chief cannot?
Going to another country and expecting them to speak English? Again, speak for yourself.
