1. Who, What and Where?

2. KGO that is a talknig point I have been hearing

the other, well they should learn English, karel needs an education English IS NOT the national languuage of the US.. the closest we came was.. German

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. hell I just sent him this

by the way what is the official language of the US? NONE... the closest we came to any official language was in the 1780s when the Congress came within three votes of making German NOT ENGLISH, German, the official language.

Moreover you want to recruit in Mexico? So how cheap and easy do you want wars to be done in the US? I mean teh troops are them foreigners anyway... by the way, this is the same kind of a premise used in a game called Armageddon 2089, It also includes GenDef, (General Defense) the successor and a private company to the Department of Defense. Shoot maybe we should do that too.

So do some readying, English IS NOT the National Language of the US. Asking a teacher to learn a second or third language is not a bad thing, only ignorant Americans refuse to learn a second language

So let me list mine

Spanish
English
American (yes there is a difference dude)
Hebrew
Smattering of German
Smattering of French
Smattering of Ydish.

Oh and you know what the military takes an oath to defend? Oh yes the Constitution of the US... so you think you can buy loyalty?

5. hmm strange I was actually told this by a prof

got to the point of bill writing but neve down to a vote... and as he explained it, at the time translating it to German was akin to German becomign the official language as the langauge of state files was teh language of the nation.
