It is a "catch 22" that we need people in the military who read and speak fluent Arabic and understand the cultures intimately, yet many of them are ticking bombs.

Even if we managed to train a thousand infidels in fluent Arabic, they wouldn't understand the subtleties of the cultures. So we need them, but I don't trust them.

As with other religions, one's duty to Allah is supreme, superseding any oath or allegiance. And there's that martyr orgy thing. Ticking bombs.

Why are we translating?

We should have nuked these idiots years ago and be done with it.

They can easily address this “problem” by making the translators civilian contractors that are protected by the squad/platoon they are with but not allowed arms or arms training.
