I believe that the US should offer a program that teaches Arabic to US military members that are separating from the military.
They should be paid very well.

I think they do. All the members I know that specialize in Asian affairs have to learn the language.

Well, that would work....in about three or four years. Learning a language well enough to translate tapes of spoken Arabic ain't easy. I know. I was a Russian linguist in the USAF. After our year of full-immersion language training, I was ready to do a good job about two years later, and I was #1 in our class.
Your idea is an oversimplification of the task.
