During WW2, Japan and the US were intercepting each others transitions and being unable to pull off a surprise attack on the other. Until the US learned that the Navajos language was truly unique. They were able to take existing words and combine them to make new words. The Navajos created their own dictionary so that each one would know what was being said. The Japanese were unable to interpret the US transitions. However, like the African Americans the Navajos were not honored for their work they were just sent back home. Today, the US is continuously trying to correct their mistakes and show these fallen soldiers honor. It’s better late, than never!
This is a great history lesson to show young people that never knew of these great men.
Oh, the chocolate cigar was awesome. It is a way to help the commander with his addiction to cigars. However, he might get addicted to chocolate.moreless
AIRED:
Members of the JAG team encounter resistance from Navajo tribal elders when they insist on DNA testing to verify that human remains are those of heroic Navajo "code-talker" Jimmy Blackhorse, who has been missing since World War II. Forensic pathologist Lt. Cmdr. Teresa Coulter joins Harm and Mac on the case. The Navajo elders consider it a sacrilege to tamper with the remains of the dead and, furthermore, the Navajo medicine woman is certain that the remains do not belong to the esteemed Blackhorse. While the veracity of scientific evidence is argued against that of tribal custom and the metaphysical, Teresa finds herself falling for Harm and putting the entire assignment in jeopardy.moreless

QUOTES (2)
ADD QUOTES-
Paul Begay: (after declaring DNA testing a sacrilege) You've got some Native American blood in you, Major.
Mac: Cherokee.
Paul Begay: I'm surprised you're not getting this.
Mac: Mr. Begay, according to my understanding of the history of Native America, the Navajo were an adaptive people. The Cherokee had to be forced onto reservations. Your instinct should be to accept, mine to resist. I'm surprised you're not getting that! -
Harm: (as he grabs a pastry) I gave up cigars last night. Any words of encouragement?
Chegwidden: Don't get fat.
