The Japanese Language Program lasted 10 months.
Could you interrogate a prisoner in Japanese after
studying the language for just 10 months?
Me, no.
And to think that thousands of fighting-age fluent speakers
of Japanese were either interned as "aliens" or fighting at Monte Cassino.

forward in China, could you; the Chinese would kill him as an invader.
