I wonder at what point of deployment Eastward the south will blow up in our faces?
Don't lose your cool. Right now everyone is fascinated by the southwest asia theatre of war but we have a lot of pretty hard and savvy guys keeping an eye on the south. While some assets like recon drones and special ops airplanes may be all tied up, we have about 1 1/2 Special Forces Groups that stay zeroed in on this area. They speak Spanish and the other languages of the area, they know the people and the players. There is a complete intel infrastructure behind them and most of it isn't going anywhere.
So far there has been no demand for sending the Spanish speakers to start learning Farsi or Pushto. That means that the bosses still want 'em to speak Spanish, I guess.
(We have other guys watching the Asian area too). Not giving away secrets to say we have good people on watch, and they think about these things, too.
