Particularly those who were interpreters who were (and remain) in short supply.

What part of this are you not getting? The need to have straight interpreters is far greater than the need to have interpreters who actually speak Arabic. We got rid of those interpreters and replaced them with red-blooded heterosexual English speakers! Granted, they can’t talk to the locals, or read any intercepted documents, but THEY ARE STRAIGHT!!!!
