Thread Name: Kennedy Airport Story
Subject: RE: Kennedy Airport Story
And let me add one more "for example" to Mick's: are you aware that there are many Arabic and Pushtu-speaking Americans, citizens or otherwise, who are joining the US Army solely to go to Iraq or Afganistan as translators and cultural interpreters? And that there is a program at Ft. Jackson (my brother is one of the instructors) to make sure that their English is adequate for the task? And that these patriots are high-value targets for Quaida?
