Current Events » in reply to DoD Honors Last Comanche World War II ‘Code Talker’ . . .

Fascinating. I read about the Navaho code talkers years ago...

but I don't remember ever hearing about the Comanches who served in Europe. It's a shame they had to wait so long to get the honors they so richly deserve. It'd be hard to overstate how valuable their service was to the war effort.

I loved the part of the article that discussed the phrases they invented for words that weren't in their language. I especially liked the phrase for Hitler: "Hitler," he said with a grin, was "posah-tai-vo," or "crazy white man." Talk about an understatement!
