It's funny! I laughed - a lot in fact. But for me it was more at Trump's executive order than what I suppose is GenXGirl's typical tirade against Israel/Zionism. Her post probably wouldn't have the same impact with her following if she were to put up a post from the one of the other non-English "X Handles" that U. S. Centcom posts to:

• Arabic: @CENTCOMArabic — tailored for Arabic-speaking audiences in the Middle East
• Farsi (Persian): @CENTCOMFarsi — focused on Persian-speaking regions like Iran
• Pashto: @CENTCOMPashto — for Afghan audiences
• Dari: @CENTCOMDari — also for Afghan audiences
• Urdu: @CENTCOMUrdu — for Pakistan and Urdu-speaking communities

It's U. S. Central Command. Obviously, CENTCOM's mission is going to involve communicating with the local populace wherever it's beating it's battle stick, or wherever it's communicating with allied forces in the geographic area of it's command.

The executive order even spells it out it out in Section 3(b):

(b) Executive Order 13166 of August 11, 2000 (Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency), is hereby revoked; nothing in this order, however, requires or directs any change in the services provided by any agency. Agency heads should make decisions as they deem necessary to fulfill their respective agencies' mission and efficiently provide Government services to the American people. Agency heads are not required to amend, remove, or otherwise stop production of documents, products, or other services prepared or offered in languages other than English.
