Of course.
That is an SF guy he is talking to.
Is that Jeb in the background?

I can't quite make out the flash, but it's from Florida after the hurricane, so 20th seemed likely. That's Jeb back there.
Showing that keen understanding of the military which makes me proud of our media, the AP caption was "President Bush greets Federal Emergency Management Agency worker Kay Johnston and Neil Hardin, right, of Special Forces Group, Florida National Guard, Sunday, Aug. 15, 2004."

Good thing that troop isn't a sapper, he would have tabs down to his wrist.

I believe that it is green.
The SF Green Beret is a very dark green known as Rifle Green, and at times, is mistaken for black.

Bill,
I can make fun of 'em because I are one!  My drawl has improved so that most Americans can understand me, but is bad enough that my PA born and raised wife says "y'all" every now and then.
FL has enough yankees in the state that 3/20 isn't as bad as 2/20 in MS......
