I spoke on the phone to a senior chief yesterday in Virginia. He verified that the guy is a real Coastguardsman and assigned to a Cutter. The senior chief could not believe what the guy was doing. He was both astounded and angry. I think Jameel
Rashid is in for some big, big trouble.

I hope the fellow crewmen on his cutter (did the cpo mention the cutters name?) sleep well each night with a 'dissident' among them, especially the officers who may wonder whether they will live out the nite as some did not in Kuwait when another 'dissident' fragged the tents---just think how safe we all are with that cutter on Homeland Security patrols--as an aside,thanks for the appreciation regards WW2 but I was only one of some 16 million total under arms back then and the real heroes never came home-
