  • nextime learn a nuristani language

  • yes, he knows. he was emphasizing the US army's cultural ignorance....have a nice time

  • isaf propaganda

  • i met with him in camp atterbury indiana i am from afghanistan and he speaks pashto very well

  • By the way no one in Iraq speaks Pashto.....Pashto is only spoken in Pakistan and Afghanistan....just for ur information "gorubaan"....have a nice time

  • Pashto is nothing like Arabic, but you're still right. More tragic is the fact that only one officer speaks it and that's newsworthy. But knowing the Army, they would have sent the Pashto speakers to Iraq anyway.

  • wow, maybe if the U.S. military didn't kick out so many highly skilled Arab linguists because they were gay, this wouldn't be a breaking news story!
