Just had a couple of beers down at McCarthy's with an ex-Marine vet of the Iraq war. Lots to share about that talk when I have more time to write, but how about this for a teaser?:
ME: So you were over in Iraq?"
HIM: "Yep."
ME: Asked a bunch of questions, including "So do you speak Arabic?"
HIM: "I initally enrolled in language school down at the base in Miramar [San Diego area], but I quit that right quick."
ME: "Why?"
HIM: "Because I found out they always shoot the translators first."
