Instead of wasting more money on such companies as KBR, Bechtel, and L-3, why doesn't the U.S. government provide language scholarships to about 15 to 25 million Americans over the next ten years?

 

I mean full-ride scholarships that cover one's whole university tuition-or even one's post graduate tuition.

 

Then Americans could more bravely wander the world and not have to hide in military camps because they can't tell the differences between different peoples whose lands they have occupied-or are even desiring to protect.

 

With such skills, we would also feel more confident on the global world stage. As well, we would be more competent, i.e. socially, holistically, and economically.

 

Salam a'laikum.
