Title: Code-Talker
Warnings: None
Summary: WWII, America brags about his secret coding weapon.
A/N: Orly's back! I actually had this in mind when I decided how Gratitude would play out. During WWII, Native American troops served as codetalkers in the U.S. Marine Corps. It's most strongly associated with bilingual Navajo, although Choctaw, Cherokee, Lakota, Meskwaki and Comanche served as well. As a result, all American communications were pretty much impossible to decode. This is fudging it a bit because no one at the Pentagon let anyone know about their existence (due to the security implications involved) until 1992, when they were finally officially recognized. ...Let's just pretend America's bragging about national secrets. That's not too much of a stretch. Another note, Rì běn in pinyin for Japan. And Allemagne is French for Germany.
( ...Wait, mystical? )
