What Is The Purpose Of The Navajo Code Talkers

From 1939 to 1945, the world broke out in its second war. The two opposing sides were called the Allies, consisting of most of the world including the United States, and the Axis Powers, consisting of Germany, Japan, and Italy. When the United States got involved with the War, everybody in the states were affected, including the Native Americans. Everybody felt the need to be involved in helping the Allies win. Most of America is taught that the United States won the War because of the usage of the atomic bombs in the pacific but the true unsung heroes of the War were the Navajo Code Talkers. They used their language as a code, making their code unbreakable to the Axis powers, and their ability to decode faster than any other.

Philip Johnston was the man who enlisted the Navajos into this training because he had grown up on a Navajo reservation and had become accustomed to their culture and language. The main goal for the Navajo Code Talkers was to be able to send messages and receive them fast without being deciphered by enemies. Johnston had seen what the Navajo Indians were capable of from their work in WWI and how fast they could transmit messages and how useful they were as allies. When trying to convince the generals of the Marines that the Navajo should be used for their skill, his argument was their work in the first War.

Because the Navajo had been separated from the rest of the population of America, mostly the whites, it was safe to say that their language was not known by many outside of their tribe. However because they were not around English speaking people, most of them didn't know how
After their seven week training course for the marines, they had to go through an eight week messaging course in order to learn all that was needed for code talking. Some of the men enlisted were not as qualified as they needed to minimize the amount of people in training in order to focus on individuals more. Instead of training 50 men each month, recruitment went down to 25 men per month to train. Many volunteered to be code talkers, some even lying about their ages in order to be able to help. Others were drafted when necessary. Old men years above the maximum age would lie in order to help. Younger men claimed to be years older while they were only fifteen because they knew that any help, especially from young, active men could be of use. Training included memorization of the code and learning how to work the radios in order to transmit the code between Code Talkers. Their training also consisted of weapon use and other military training because they needed to be prepared to fight if
