Never know when you might need Navaho code talkers in space.

I think the code talkers are all dead. The language nearly is. It’s a shame, the code talkers did good work in the war.

THAT is what our US Congress sees fit to debate, vote on, and pass?

That’s pathetic.

It’s the only benefit of the current gridlock. God forbid they should get REALLY busy passing bills. Most of what they do does more harm than good anyhow.

Pretty decent movie and amazing men. Always wondered what the Japanese looked like when they heard those guys talking. Just looking at each other like.....WTF is that?

As their Commander is standing over them, asking what was being said......Have absolutely no clue what they are saying sir. Can’t even take a guess.

I don’t know how throwing money at it can do anything about preserving Native American languages. Ultimately it’s up to them and what they choose to do on their own reservations. They can’t demand to be left alone and then ask for help at the same time.

Ya-at-eeh. That’s Navajo. That’s not from Latin or anything else. The Japanese trying to break the code, I’m betting we’re going nuts. I’m hoping the Navajo can save it. I’m glad I’m to old to try to learn it. Voting on the bill makes more sense than the impeachment to me.
