Subject: So the american army has been given translators...
..for their mission to Iraq. I'm sure they'll help lots but I just can't seem to shift the image of some burly bullet-headed special forces guy using it for interogation:
COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME DIRECTIONS TO YOUR NEAREST POSTOFFICE (..searches furiously through translator..)
COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME HIDEOUT TO YOUR NEAREST POSTOFFICE?
(..more searching..)
I WOULD LIKE A BEER PLEASE.
It will never fucking work! Even if they weren't pigshit-thick grunts, we all know how good automatic translators are. Why not send a couple of people who speak the languages?
