The Sound of the Crowd

It’s times like this I’m glad I have no special skills

Well, none I can think of that would be valuable to the goverment, anyway. I mean I’m not sure but I’m guessing there’s not much call for dialogue polish in the military.

Favorite ‘graph:

“The military has had particular difficulty attracting and retaining language experts, especially people knowledgeable about Arabic and various Afghan dialects. To address this need, the Army has a new pilot program under way to recruit Arabic speakers into the service’s Ready Reserves. The service has signed up about 150 people into the training program.”

IIRC, didn’t the military fire a few such experts ‘cause they were gay not too long ago?
