What's wrong with this video?

This video is supposedly that of some American trainers leading prospective Iraqi soldiers in a period of physical training. Whether it's authentic or not, it has an interesting aspect. At the risk of appearing offensive, it's also very funny. See if you can recognize the obvious problem.



Done? Good.

Now think about it. These are supposed to be Iraqis being trained. Iraqis speak Arabic.

One, two, three? That's English.

I would have led them with wahid, itnan, talatha. You know... their own language.

So, who are the fools in the video now?
