The Truth:: The
Navaho language was used by the military in W.W.II. however the language
is only an

one. Navaho code talkers were used in the Pacific theater of operations
so the military could transmit vital information over the radio. The code
was never broken. Comanches were also used during W.W.II, but not as extensively
as the Navahos. In WW I, Choctaws were used to relay messages as code talkers.
