I didn't say that, of course, but now that you mention
it, that would be a very good idea if they would like
to be able to understand people who speak AAVE, don't
you think -- a good way to reduce some of the
misunderstanding and fear that helps keep in place the
cultural divide between blacks and whites in the US
military (and in the little hothouse US's our great
nation implants around the world in its military
installations).
