The five men were part of the Arabic Translation program at the base.

Oh boy! So what did they mistranslate that will later be used against us?....What's in the works that they neglected to note in the translation?

Soldier thinks he's learning this: "Hi, we're from the US and we're here to help you."

Arabic person he is addressing hears this, "The great Satan has sent me to get your children for the Jews to eat at Passover. You will surrender them now!"

You jest but Voice of America is broadcasting anti-American propaganda into a number of countries including Iran. Some of those working for the US claim they don't even speak the language of the regions they are programming for.

But VOA has had antiAmerican propaganda for many years now.
