Authentic or not, Bush memos no big deal to retired guardsmen
U.S. Servicemen React to Bush Guard Memos (spreading the lie)
Allegations of suspect conduct during the Vietnam war also have been leveled at John Kerry, who won three Purple Hearts, a Silver Star and a Bronze Star in Vietnam.
A group sponsoring television ads challenging his wartime record contends Kerry's own gunfire caused the wound that brought his first Purple Heart. Navy records and other veterans do not support the charge.
Ahmad Majied of Albany (GA) says the latest allegations about Bush's military record are more troubling to him than allegations about service honors leveled at Democratic challenger Kerry.
Majied, a Democrat from Albany who served 30 years in the Navy, including five years as a SEAL in Vietnam, said the memos support his belief that Bush was a "playboy" during his service years.
"He had enough money to get what he wanted," Majied said. "I think his main concern was not to go to Southeast Asia. I bet he never dreamed it would come back to haunt him."

NOT A SEAL
Thanks for checking with us - we greatly appreciate your interest in upholding the honor of the US Navy SEAL Teams, and your search for the TRUTH. If the name you provided was "spelled accurately", we do NOT have a listing for anyone named "Majied" in our entire database of slightly more than 10,000 names. Unless he has undertaken the unlikely action of a full legal name change since his claimed service with the SEAL Teams, I can state conclusively that the man NEVER completed SEAL training, and thus he is not now, nor was he ever a Navy SEAL. While there are other training steps that must be completed on the path to becoming a SEAL, BUD/S training is the first and most vital, and that training course is totally unclassified. Without having first completed BUD/S training, a man cannot go on to become a SEAL. There are definitely secret SEAL missions, but despite anything the man might have said, there are NO secret SEALs. If you choose to confront the man regarding his fraudulent SEAL claims, please show him this email message and invite him to contact me - a real SEAL - directly by email with information that will support his claims. I'd enjoy hearing his stories first hand, but I've extended this offer to literally thousands of individuals over the last three years, and in all that time I've received only a scant handful of replies, so I don't really expect to hear from him either.
Again, please visit our web page www.authentiseal.org/realitycheck.htm for some very specific information related to the realities of SEAL training, SEAL duties, and the claims most often made by SEAL imposters.
Thank you again for your assistance in upholding the honor of the US Navy SEAL Teams.

Slow talk'n, slow typin' and I still don't have the dishes washed from lunch.
But I did complete my fact checking before the guys from the AP did.
This place is so cool! Good work.
Great catch...
I would like to buy K&E for what they are truly worth to the American People and sell them (to France, the UN, the CPUSA, or VN) for what they (K&E) think they are worth.
Afraid you got me
(was born in Texas too)
It says in the text from the link that the USS Currituck was a seaplane tender. Added to the ratings that another Freeper interpreted earlier, he was a Navy cop on that ship 1963-66.
There are also people out there who claim that every once in a while the CIA calls them up and sends them on a secret mission, and the rest of the time they just do their normal everyday activities. Funny, they are so covert they can tell people they go on covert missions once in a while. How professional.

Hey, John Kerry brags about his secret missions to Cambodia.
And Criminal Number 18 F beat us all by a day. ROTFLMAO

Anyone want to call?
The link that you provided doesn't seem to go to a SEAL site. They look like torpedomen:

You had lunch? You're one up on me then!
One would almost think that after this many slaps from FR that they'd have learned to run the stories by us first for a sanity check.
Until they do this is sooooooooooooo much fun!
You have earned an official pair of Pukin Dog Jammies.
I think in the past they have been so successful following the old adage that "the first liar in....wins", they still believe it will work for them.
I think another one of the old adages WE need to keep in mind is the MSM will try to keep us distracted by stamping out the fires they set.
Probably. I didnt take the time to figure out what the list was that contained his name, just saw a story about Seals preceding it.
AP has they guy being from Albany, NY.
Also, very SEAL knows about the Wall of Shame. If he had been a real SEAL, he would have made sure that there would be no way he could be confused with anyone. No real SEAL would take the chance of being put on the Wall of Shame -- especially because of a name change.
Pssst! This does happen - take Freeper "buckhead" for example. Funny how he just happened to show up to toss out a casual question about the authenticity of the DNC memos? .... hold on a second .... something's just landed in my front yard ... uhhh .... what's a black helicopter doing around here???
[crickets]
Some people.... (:o) ...never grow up. Now it's Dr Dentons, 3 fingers of Jack, a laptop and Bozo is the DNC candidate for president ..
Stay safe !
