#1 This whole story sounds like BS.

#2 Well, everybody knows real Americans are incapable of speaking foreign languages! Actually, it sounds like the Arabic For Soldiers classes are paying off. Although perhaps they need to get some instructors with other accents ;-)

#3 We have an all-volunteer force. Nobody's there because they HAVE to be, they're there because they WANT to be. It's still possible to get out of the military early without a dishonorable discharge. I can see NO grounds for believing this story. Sounds like another rumor designed to stir up trouble both at home and abroad. Are you sure the Yemeni they quoted wasn't a member of the dummycritter national party?
