SF teaches both languages mentioned.

Are you saying the stats they quote on foreign languages spoken in the Army in 04 were wrong? I remember in reading all the articles and books about the SF in Afghanistan that one of the biggest problem they had was lack of interpreters.

What they should have done is picked up some Afghan kids here who spoke the language, 18 or so, in good shape, and sent them along as interpreters. Put them on the CIA payroll and treated them like equipment.

uw, do any of the SF when they retire, offer foreign language classes, both to the other areas of the Military, or to the private industry companies who are contracting to help translate documents that have been found in Iraq and other places? Seems an obvious way for them to still offer their help, and for them to make some money as well.
