Were there any corpse men in attendance?
A college education is a terrible thing to waste.
- Doesn't know what a corpsman is.
- Doesn't know how many states there are in the USA.
- Speaks Arab like an Arab (Phok-Eee-Stohn).
- Now he can't pronouce a simple word like Oso.
Just another "tell" indicating he is trying to function in a culture that is really foreign to him.
