Without a language capability, we (SF) are just Marines with better looking hats......
There are 4 things that you can't learn on a couple hour C-17 flight to some foreign AOR:
1) Physical Fitness
2) Marksmanship
3) Land Nav
4) Language
Pretty much any thing else of critical importance such as a new radio, weapon, bomb, etc can learned in a couple hours with a trainable person and the manual.
