    I’m a Navajo. So just hearing this makes me proud. We were a big part of WW2 despite the hardships we went through before we became US. I read a book about this and it said that no code talkers complained about boot camp because we were use to everything that the boot camp brought to us. From the heat, living in poor conditions and the stress. We kicked ass and I wish others would notice that.

    When he started speaking Navaho it gave me chills. This man was a witness to a complex and deadly situation in which he certainly had a right to avoid. The Marine Corps teaches pride and places a strong emphasis on it's history. The famed coded talkers have been woven into our proud traditions and we are proud of them. I like to think they were proud to be us as well. I am sure his boot camp experience was way harder than mine and I was only expected to speak English and do as I was told with a quickness.

I am sure he had his own moral issues with the american culture but when he was named soldier he and others like him did his job. I saw over youtube and movies a lot of natives doing their job very good. If i hadn't quit drinking i would hold one up for the old man. He sure seen some shit in his time and grow old enough to tell the tales. And yea, i can't even imagine how hard was for him to come in contact with civilised(more or less) young americans while he comes from some remote village in a reservation.

      They didn't want to b ruled by Germany or Japan so they chose to fight them despite the way they were treated by the Anglo Americans. Many Navajos n other Native tribes had fought in WWI as well. It was nothing new. Some Navajos served in military fighting Apaches n Poncho Villa. When WWI started many of them showed up at recruitment wearing their old US Army uniforms n old rifles.

    My great grandpa harold evans was issued his name from the US and he became a navajo code talker(they couldn't pronounce his name is what I'm told). He always took me fishing and when I was 7, I asked about the war... He refused to tell me. I love my grandpa cause we caught a lot of trout in Tsaile Lake untile he died when I turned 13. I will say he made really good scrambled eggs but his gun lessons were strict and I remember being very intimidated but hunting season came and every elk kill he did... he always thanked the elk and said a prayer for it for feeding us. Different breed of man is made from war and I respect it cause I've never lived military life but I'm so proud to be a native american.

There were some Ho-Chunk code talkers in WW2 also. An enlistment in the US military is what most of us just do as young men/women.

    Flags of our fathers is a good movie about Jima. Not to put any other part of war down, or be disrespectful to other types of combat, but in my opinion, it would be particularly scary being a young sailor aboard a ship where you were sat down under, in your rack, and can hear the shelling, then the ship goes down and you're trapped, the feeling of helplessness would get me. Respect to all veterans, I just think a sailor on a ship in WW2 would be terrifying

      Yes their were many native American tribes that participated in the code talker program, I think Hopi was sent to Europe with the Cheyenne and the Navajo and Apache were sent to the Pacific.
      But the reason why Navajo is most represented in WW2 because they had no vocabulary or dialect to study so the axis powers wouldn't be able to crack Navajo.
