Esperanto as a Second Language? Well, there was a time
U.S. military commanders thought that was a good idea,
as these excerpts from an Army field manual show.
Seems the brass wanted the would-be international
language to be used by one side during training
exercises. In fact, "Aggressor" referred to a
fictitious nation created by the Army to serve as its
opponent in these "war games." We doubt Latin was
considered for the foe's language, but Klingon would
have been a better choice. (13 pages)
