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.

...the AP shouldn't have mentioned the news about the Navy Investigations into Kerry's phony Silver Star citations...
...somebody slipped up!...

Are the other individuals quoted in this article also fake? We should check it out. Meanwhile, when is Greg Packer going to check in?
Quick work,bump.
It's worth noting for the record that our esteemed "Travis McGee" served as a REAL SEAL.
There sure are a lot of fakes running around. We have a fake hero running for President, and fake Navy Seals trying to take down President Bush from another angle.
Whoopsie! Caught in another one, are they? There must be a horrific sinking feeling in the collective pit of their stomachs over in the breakrooms of the OldMedia hallowed halls. They don't get to make up stories with impunity any more, and that sudden realization is leaving plenty of shell-shocked victims in its wake. (Welcome to the Brave New World of the brave NewMedia!)
Make sure that this fact gets spread to NRO, Kerry Spot too.
hmmm, must be the Seal Kerry dropped off on his secret mission into Cambodia.....
Maybe he was using another name then.....
DEFINITELY, I doubt he was Muslim back then. Y'all need his birth name to really check this out.
Good work ya'll.......Stay on em !.....Stay safe !
They do check stuff. They just believe that we're too ignorant or lazy to check it out ourselves. You think no one checked out Paul Harkin's claims to being a naval aviator Ace in Nam? Most knew he wasn't. The MSM is being killed by their own invention, Lexis-Nexis. They believed that the cost would drive the folks away from using it. But a great many local school districts have contracts with L/N and provide passwords to their taxpayers as a service. That's how I get it. It's a stripped down version, but my best friend says her private contract for her law practice is not substantially better than mine. MSM must rue the day the internet became public domain.
This just keeps getting better as all the commie news media outlets line up to be shot down.
LOL
Sometimes typos are our friends!
Perhaps stockboinker would be better though!
Jammy Bump!
