Well, none I can think of that would be valuable to the goverment, anyway. I mean I’m not sure but I’m guessing there’s not much call for dialogue polish in the military.

Favorite ‘graph:

“The military has had particular difficulty attracting and retaining language experts, especially people knowledgeable about Arabic and various Afghan dialects.

IIRC, didn’t the military fire a few such experts ‘cause they were gay not too long ago?
