After volunteering for service in El Salvador, Schaufelberger was assigned to the military group, where he continued helping the Salvadoran navy build up its ability to interdict rebel arms smuggled by sea from Nicaragua. At the same time, Schaufelberger kept himself well in formed about the changing strength and tactics of the guerrillas. In an interview last week, he predicted that he and his fellow U.S. advisers could soon become choice targets. "Things are going to get nasty," he said. "Shooting a soldier in the line of duty is a lot less risky than shooting a female consular official." By — Pico Iyer.
