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.

So you're telling us that you believe that someone with enough Moxie to become a Seal would be stupid enough to buy into the 'black muslim' crap.

Yup. He's likey the only Seal out a few thousand that went Muslim
What's intersting is that in the list you found of this guy serving on the USS Diodon in '63-66 , he is listed with the same name as he has now.
You would think the list would include the name he was known by when he was on the ship. If that's the case, then he has the same name at the time he served on the ship as he does now.
And the Seals can not find a record for him under that name. I wonder if he actually served on this ship.
So what tree should I piss on?
Amen. Any legit SEAL would proudly show you in a second.
And any court papers about the possible name change too.
That makes no sense. He would be glad to provide his former name and BUD/S class number, simply to lend authenticity to his anti-Bush claimes.
Now he's down as a lying maggot fake SEAL.
A SEAL with "five years in Viet Nam" could make a few phone calls to his old team buddies and have this cleared up in an hour.
He hasn't, cause he's a fake.
I can add two things to the discussion:
1) Ahmad Majied was quoted in an Atlanta Journal Constitution Article on Sunday June 30, 2002 about the Sydney Dorsey trial. (P. 1C). For those who aren't from the area, Dorsey was the former sheriff of DeKalb county who was indicted for ordering the murder of the new sheriff-elect Derwin Brown.
He pretty much thought that Dorsey was guilty.
Here's an excerpt:
At a recent lunchtime gathering at Carter's Grill, a half-dozen customers thought the former DeKalb sheriff was guilty.
"If an animal like that got out in this community, we wouldn't tolerate it," said Ahmad Majied, an imam in Albany's Muslim community. "We're too afraid of what that germ would do to all of us."
2) I located an abstract from a New York Times article in 1975, which stated that an Ahmad Majied and three other black muslems (including 2 children) were tragically shot at and wounded in Chattanooga, Tennesee. NYT, 7/3/1975, p. 9, col. 6 for any FReepers who want to search the microfiche.
I only wrote down three phrases, one of the them, the most Im most confident in is Master Chief Petty office[er].
Did you (or anyone) check out this "Mustaqueem Graydon" Piano store with the same number? I found a lawsuit involving a Georgia bank and a Mustaqueem Graydon.... (there cannot be two people in Georgia with THAT name).....
I can use my dh's Lexus to search for the lawsuit if there is a connection between this person and the "alleged" Navy seal.....
A guy was traveling through Mexico on vacation when, lo and behold, he lost his wallet and all identification.
Cutting his trip short, he attempts to make his way home but is stopped by the Customs Agent at the border. "May I see your identification, please?" asks the agent.
"I'm sorry, but I lost my wallet," replies the guy.
"Sure, buddy, I hear that every day. No ID, no crossing the border," says the agent.
"But I can prove that I'm an American!" he exclaims. "I have a picture of Ronald Reagan tattooed on one butt cheek and a picture of George Bush on the other."
"This I gotta see," replies the agent. With that, Joe drops his pants and bends over in front of the agent. "By golly, you're right!" exclaims the agent. "Go on home to Boston."
"Thanks!" he says. "But how did you know I was from Boston?"
The agent replies, "I recognized the picture of John Kerry in the middle."
My guess is that the guys 75% adverse to the publicity, 25% interested in havening a good natured chat with someone who really connects with him. He sounds like a nice ole good natured southern black gentleman whos seen a lot of all sides of human nature.
Their website is down, as I tried to check it out.
Maybe the lawsuit is on the web or located on electronic county records. Can you search your electronic county court records? That may be interesting and may turn up the guy's original name. He may have had to change it because of the lawsuit. I really hope this doesn't turn out to have been connected to that Georgian funeral company that never buried bodies (the Dem fund-raising family).
I "may" be mistaken, but hes not one of those 10. I grew up in Texas, and he sounded southern African American. In a scale of 1-10 in that regard, he was a 6 or 7. He was someone almost anyone would like.
I'm searching on Lois Law - back soon -
Way to go! AP is totally worthless and looks to be only reporting the Kerry/DNC talking points.
I cant evaluate. I dont know enough. Im going on second hand reporting at best.
If you know of a Vietnam Seal who knows of a Vietnam Seal whos good with reluctant people like this, please take the baton and complete the run to the truth.
I just took a quick tour of the Master Chief Petty Officer page, and could not find one out of the ten that appeared to be a SEAL. At least none were wearing a Trident, and I didn't see anything listed on their bios.
Can someone else double check the page to be sure?
With a name like Ahmad Majied, he could well have changed his name--like Mohammed Ali, for instance. Any way to find his birthdate or birth name?
