      ab: The article examines latrines as the measure of American soldiers and the politics of disgust in occupied Europe and Asia. It reflects on the proposal of Andrew Rotter on diplomatic historians attending more closely to the senses in studying transnational encounters. It proposes that students of U.S. foreign relations take occupation soldiers and soldiering more seriously on the inquiry of cultural politics and practices of postwar reconstruction. It notes the neglect of war's after-armies, a term coined by John Hersey, by Military historians more concerned with combat than postwar peace-building operations. It mentions the jurisdictional boundaries of discrete urban or national zones ensconced by most diplomatic and cultural historians despite the transnational turn.
