Navajo code talkers

All code talkers where taken from their homes and raised in boarding schools on their reservation, the schools where stricked and there rules mirrored the rules of the military’s rules excepted with punishment. Students were not allowed to speak there Navajo language, and where punished if they did.  As the young code talkers grew older but not too much older many had seen recruiting posters with words printed on them saying; “join the Marine Corps and test you courage”. Many boarding students were willing to join, and with no birth certificate they could easily lie about their age to qualify. By the time all code takers had enlisted there where about 200. The code that the Navajo enlisted soldiers spoke was so complex that an untrained fluent Navajo speaker could not decode it. Because it was so complex it was also very hard to learn.  The code started with letters A,B,C, thin from theses simple  letters they would make words like ant, barrel, cat, then they would translate the words into Navajo and the letters a, b, and c would be WOL-LA-CHEE, TOISH-JEH and MOASI. The code was never broken. I think the code was so successful because the code was rely two codes in one. It had a language that was not freely advertized or frequently used among the Japanese people, and the code itself untranslated. When the Navajo code talkers returned to the US after the war ended they where warmly welcomed but unrecognized for their grate accomplishments because the government wanted the code kept classified for future use, the talkers where not to say anything. The Talkers where finally recognized in 2000 by President Bush, only 3 out of the 4 still alive could make it due to their old age.
