[edit] Back in the news!

If you look at Kate Connolly's column in the Guardian, Germany, you'll find compelling reasons to keep this article.

Additional training provided by the facility: Cultural awareness and sensivity, including how to greet a local, how to treat women, and other local customs that the troops will actually need when they get to [wherever they're going]. The hiring of hundreds of Arabic speaking "extras," for what is described as an elaborate Hollywood set. These extras, some from as far away as Russia and Puerto Rico, have to live within the complex and stay in character for their entire 3-week tenure.

It's clear to me that this branch of America's Armed Services is really trying to train its troops thoroughly, and this idea of hiring the Arabic-speaking extras is entirely new. Even if you're in a pine forest and the wild native deer and boar are running around, if it can save lives and possibly promote peace, then it probably deserves it's little corner here on Wikipedia. IMHO
