So we're segregating military personnel based on their liguistic skills (and I'm not talking about linguists/translators)???

Ah, no. There is no such thing as a "spanish speaking unit." Or any other language, for that matter.

I don't doubt the number cited. And it is a much quicker path to full citizenship.
