I could have sworn I heard him addressed by a first name in the opening scene on the helicopter. But now I can't remember what I thought it was. --KilMichaelMcC 05:01, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
Is he really the only minority character who's not a ridiculous stereotype? What about the Arab kid's dad, who's level-headed, knows some English, and helps the Air Force guys? -Rotty 05:03, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
- Underage native guide is a stereotype dating back to T.E. Lawrence's travelogues. While it's true he didn't offer to sell them cigarettes in broken english- he hadn't had an opportunity to. Wasn't his only line of any consequence saying where his village was when asked? -Derik 05:10, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
- Have you seen the movie? Arab Dad is definitely not underage. That'd be weird and wrong. -Rotty 05:13, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
- I can't even remember the dad EXISTING, much less having any lines. His character-ness is... not overwhelming. --Steve-o 05:16, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
- The only thing I remember about the dad is Lennox repeatedly telling him he needed a telephone, like the dude had no idea what they were, and then the dad announcing "Cellphone!" and producing one. I liked that. Stupid American jackass. --ItsWalky 05:18, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

- ...I was refering to arab dad's SON rotty. -Derik 05:40, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
- Rotty never mentioned the kid. How does he play into this in any way? --Suki Brits 05:44, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
