1. Good thing they fired all those gay translators!

Nine Army linguists, including six trained to speak Arabic, have been dismissed from the military because they are gay.

The soldiers' dismissals come at a time when the military is facing a critical shortage of translators and interpreters for the war on terrorism.

Six were specializing in Arabic, two were studying Korean and one was studying Mandarin Chinese. All were at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, the military's primary language training center.

Other countries would question our masculinity.

5. Well, if they're worried about Middle East looking men taking pictures

in Jacksonville, how could they hire linguists who know languages of the Middle East? How could you trust them? Outsource the work to India?
