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.

He served 30 years between 1963-1966 and fought in Vietnam alone????
Bump
As a NASA astronaut, I made two Apollo moon landings.
But I was using another name then.
Hope they can handle the load when people that didn't know about them before start outing other vermin.
I thought "AP" stood for "American Pravda..."
Maybe Kerry should have hired this guy to write his bio instead of Brinkley.
Is this a different outfit than Cyberseals?
Nice job! One would think a reporter could have done this. I wonder if they just made the name up? Like the CBS story where the reporter asked the anti war group for stories on the military not getting spare parts... This is really getting to be ridiculous....... The main stream media is like a bunch of kindergardeners and their elders (freerepulbic and other bloggers) have to keep smacking their hands as they blindly stumble in their ignorant bias.
I think you need to set your alarm...(:-)
You might want to follow up some name matches to see what you can find.
Here is one from some sort of Navy reunion, see:

See post #181.
Excellent work sir!
Good work, Elfman2. He may not have wanted the attention, but he can't avoid it now. It seems that AP went to quite a bit of trouble "source shopping" to get his comments. The bit about having spent more than five years total in Vietnam puts up more alarm bells for me. As he has listed a social security number on his contact information, it ought to be very easy to check out his credentials, name change or not.
ROFL!
One would think that with a name like Ahmad Majied this guy was a Black Muslim. It is therefore quite possible that upon his conversion to Islam he changed his name.
Thanks. That's yet more proof that old guard journalists and reporters simply aren't as professional, capable, or even as credible as on-line blogs.
