A VERY VERY educational piece for all of us that have worked, work, or will work in theatres of operation where cultural advisers, interpreters etc are a vital component of battle winning conditions.

WOW! Now that really clears things up nicely – doesn’t it?
The episode documented in this clip offers many points to ponder about:
What keeps the American soldiers uninformed, unable to mitigate risks
hence vulnerable to threats? Are the limitations so poignantly noted in the clip ensue from internal weaknesses and shortcomings or external
dangers. Or do external elements exploit the lack of communication and mistrust to their advantage? I hope this video clip serves as an eye opener to help determine where after all the fault really lies?
