For Europa, language used to be ethnic and sacredly connected to a people as their secret code of communication. Now that English is becoming our world's dominant language, there is no longer any natural layer of communication security for the West. China has Chinese, Israel has Israeli, but America and parts of Europe are now vulnerable as their secret code is known by all. Even now in "peacetime", Muslim terror agents in Britain can easily understand their targets, but can't be understood. In wartime, imagine this problem but on a massive scale. You can't yell out orders in your secret code anymore because all the Chinese soldiers killing your people grew up learning it in school.
I hope someone can just come in here and call out why this doesn't make any sense, but right now it seems to me that we are at a severe disadvantage. Even now, other countries can observe our internet and learn who we are while very few of us can do the same back. It may seem dominant to have your language everywhere, but I feel like there could be severe negative consequences down the line. Feeling more and more like a guinea pig every day.

Perhaps this could make a difference in guerilla warfare, but I don't think it matters too much. In any recent wars, both sides are still able to perform intel operations due to translators, etc.
Furthermore, I think that most communications need to be coded/encrypted anyway - see in WWII, where germans were writing comms in encrypted german, which was eventually broken by allies… Plus, encryption capabilities are quite a bit more advanced these days - a PG-esque system could still easily be used offline.

Also, I agree with some other anons that learning second languages is valuable beyond communication security. Part of being well prepared will involve speaking at least a second language in addition to english.
