Of course that makes complete sense to a rational person. I can't imagine any honorable SEAL feeling otherwise. On the other hand, it's possible this guy converted to Islam and is now a Muslim Imam as a few other posts imply from google searches. If that's true, could he be a terrorist sympathizer? Sounds wild, I know. But, if it's possible I'd just hate to see FR blamed for a mistake right when its getting positive attention about fontgate.
I just think that if his comments had any background info he would supply it willingly. Being a Navy SEAL, and confirming certainly would lend credence to his comments. Either way, the AP cannot be trusted -- they obviously didn't research their sources very well -- AGAIN.
The Imam could have just stated his BUD/S class. That would have been enough info -- but SEAL school -- no such classification that I am aware of. I asked a guy from BUD/S Class 24 and he just laughed at SEAL school! It's BUD/S.
No SEAL that I know doesn't know his Class number.
Seen this one yet?!
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.
