About 30 years ago I worked with a guy whose wife’s grandfather was a code talker. I had never hear of them before.
The code talkers all knew each other and in most cases came from the same tribe/area area. Drove the Japanese crazy. All day long they were visiting in Navajo about the cousins back home and then seamlessly insert a code phrase. For words that were not Navajo they use a phonetic alphabet but used Navajo words, so B would be the Navajo word for Bear etc. Then back to speculating if cousin Jimmy is still drinking. I wonder if they even figured out what language it was in.

Tough nut to crack. How about you can send encrypted all you want, provided the sender and receiver identities are in the clear. How much would that offend our libertarian sensibilities?
