Happy 100th Birthday to Thomas H. Begay, Navajo Code Talker, USMC.

LINKEDIN

Happy 100th Tommy. You are one of a kind, one hell of a man and Marine and a credit to your country.

Marine Corps leadership selected 29 Navajo men, the Navajo Code Talkers, who created a code based on the complex, unwritten Navajo language. The code primarily used word association by assigning a Navajo word to key phrases and military tactics.

The Indian code was so complex in Navajo tongue the Krouts could not decipher what the messages were which adding a very big military advantage to The United States position in World War 2, that finally led to a victory.

People like Tommy, for the most part, although there are exceptions to the rule, do not exist anymore. I think I can say safely that patriotism is nearly non-existent.

One way to cut down the population of the United States is for the government to enact or resurrect the draft. Unlike the illegals trying to get into this country, we would have all the draft dodgers trying to get out, crossing the border the other way.  

So goes the USA
