If personnel in the armed forces in any country, but especially the US and British armed forces - being as our both our nations seem to be involved everywhere - were to be trained in the foreign languages in the countries they operated in - could this not possibly change the outcome of the conflicts in those countries ?
Isn't there a chance if you were actually communicating in the same language, even if, to put it bluntly, you are only slinging insults at each other - that somewhere along the line you might find a way to do more than just fight and kill each other ?
Doesn't conflict a lot the time come from frustration because of confusion?
In essense I might know if someone is angry with me, because of their facial expression - and they're shouting at me at the top of their voice and jesticulating wildly - but wouldn't it be better to actually know WHY THEY'RE ANGRY WITH ME or for them to know why I AM ANGRY WITH THEM ?????
