He faces court martial - a "trial" staged by his accusers - and either a lengthy prison sentence or forced deployment to Iraq.Veterans for Peace, Iraq Veterans Against the War,...

Being a native English speaker is sort of a blessing that you never stop to think about. Obviously, when you live in a country where everyone speaks English, you take it for granted that you can speak it too.

International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) for Vietnamese learning English
One of the many reasons that Vietnamese and other foreigners need a teacher that can speak the language is because it is difficult to read English words and pronounce them correctly without first having somebody read them to you. This is because English orthography, the spelling system, is very inconsistent and contains many words from other languages such as French and Latin. Many Vietnamese students studying English rely on electronic dictionaries that can say the words out loud but these...
