     A man wearing an Afghan National Army uniform opened fire on three Australian soldiers at their base on Wednesday. Two other people were wounded. The suspect got away by scaling the fence. The total number of deaths due to "green-on-blue" (green referring to Afghan uniforms, blue referring to NATO uniforms) has risen to 14 in august alone.




Australian and US officials are making changes to the military policy, one of which includes carry loaded weapons at all time.

International Business Issue

Language

One common issue in international business is the language barrier. Not everyone can speak English, and many people than do are not fluent in that language. A few common mistakes in international communication is the use of slang and "jargon." Many non-native speakers will not understand your expression, or they may take it literally. Also, numbers are an problem when communicating worldwide. One billion in English is one thousand million, which is a 1 with 9 zeros but in European languages it is a 1 with 12 zeros.
