Post 2

     My topic is about the Navajo code-talkers in World War 2. The Navajo codetalkers developed a code and used it in the pacific theater. This code was very useful and helped the Americans defeat the Japanese in many different battles across the Pacific. The idea to use the code was proposed by a man named Philip Johnston.
     The reason the Navajo code was so useful was because the code could be translated rapidly and verbatim. The reason Johnston proposed this code was because it was mostly oral, and one of the only native tribes that have been infested by German anthropologists,. The code consisted of everyday Navajo ;language and another layer of encryption for military terms like machine gun, and submarine.
