Title: In teresting and important book, is it indicative of military linguists experiences?
Review: I studied Arabic in both high school and college, and considered becoming an army linguist when "Desert Storm" was launched. If I had read, " Inside the Wire" beforehand, I would not have bothered. Certainly Saar's accounts of interpreting requests for tylenol, and listening to questions such as "why am I here ?", provide little incentive for becoming a military linguist , if your interest is in saving civilian and military lives.
Is the review positive or negative?
