I marked this US-bio-stub because it needs material on the person beyond the details of the assassination. RJFJR 00:03, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Albert A. Schaufelberger

Al Schaufelberger's asasination made the cover of the June 6th 1983 edition of "Newsweek" magazine (U.S. edition "THE FIRST CASUALTY" and European edition "SHOOTING TO KILL"). World exclusive cover picture taken one week before his death by combat photographer Sacha Rocos (Gamma/Liaison). Previous pictures of him were taken (rear view/ civilian clothes only for security) by Magnum Agency in Paris.

The Newsweek article carries a detailed background of him.

He was a US Navy SEAL, second in command of the US MILGROUP advising the Salvadoran Military on counter insurgency and weapons traffic interdiction operations - especially naval ops in the Gulf of Fonseca centred out of the La Union naval base.

He was a graduate of Annapolis Naval Academy and an american football player at school.

[edit] WPMILHIST Assessment

The citation format's a bit off. Also, I really do not understand the attraction to adding information about whether or not he was an avid football player to soldier's articles. This is meant to be an academic, professional encyclopedia, not a collection of human interest stories. Otherwise, a fine start though. LordAmeth 01:07, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
