some countries have more than one official language.
for example, Canada has English and French, Finland has Finnish and Swedish, Belgium - Flemish and French.
How these bilingual countries have their armed forces function language-wise?
Are both languages accepted?
Should all servicemen(women) know both languages as a condition for recruitment or conscription?
Paperwork? Radio transmissions? Verbal orders?
What about the National Guard in those states that have English and Spanish as their official language?
I would really appreciate if somebody enlighten me on this matter!
