No kidding! Scenario. In a critical combat situation an officer gives an order in Spanish. How many soldiers would be standing around looking at each other wondering what was going on as the enemy takes aim. Chaos. The reverse is also true, which is why all military people need to speak English. A 'bilingual' army is a clear and present danger to the military mission and to the safety of military personnel. This guy needs to be stopped dead in his tracks.

Hasn't the Navy accepted Spanish-speaking Puerto Ricans in the past? They would then send them to English language school after enlisting. I don't know if they still do this. They certainly did in the 80s.
