>>>I believe that the US should offer a program that teaches Arabic to US military members
I think they do. All the members I know that specialize in Asian affairs have to learn the language.
I'm talking about offering it to members separating from the military with various job descriptions, as long as they meet certain aptitude requirements.
Considering soldiers, sailors and airmen with a Top Secret security clearance is another plus, as it will help cut down on the cost of the background investigation. In the end, you have new FBI/CIA members who have demonstrated some form of loyalty to the US and have a form of discipline that this job seems to require.
