Last week we got news that one of our most important allies on the battlefield, Iraqi interpreters, were being forced to lose their identity-concealing mask for "professionalism" reasons. Like any thoroughly lousy idea (think Joe Biden's "Plan for Iraq"), it got vocal opposition from a wide range of people like The Captain's Journal, Brandon Friedman, and Some Soldier's Mom. But what do the Iraqis have to say about all this? Turns out an Iraqi Interpreter spoke against this policy last month (h/t Mad Tom):
They issued a new rule say:I guess he thinks that looking "professional" takes a back seat on the priority list to threats against his life. Who would've thought!
NO MORE MASK FOR IRAQI INTERPRETERS.
It's like they want to say :
HEY IRAQI PEOPLE...HERE THEY ARE...THE IRAQI INTERPRETERS...NOW YOU GET CHANCE TO SEE THEIR FACES...DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO OF THEM,KILL THEM,TOURTURE THEM, WE DON'T CARE.
Yes, that was the truth, and I challenge any body has ability to give me another reason that make this commander took decision such this.
See what the others have said:
