| #3 Why are they not doing the same with Pashto and Dari? I've been asking that question since 9/12 or so. It's not only a military issue but a diplomatic one. The last time I checked, there were no college courses in Dari taught in the US. |

| #2 Back in the Day(tm) There were over a million men in the Army, then 950,000, then 750,000, then 480,000. They're talking cuts again. The guys who run the shop are Armor, Infantry or Artillery branch. Guess what gets priority with less manpower resources. |

| #1 "Back in the day" DLI was cranking out Russian, Korean, and German linguists by the class full every Thursday. Why are they not doing the same with Pashto and Dari? We should be graduating 500 such linguists a year. |
