 Why wasn't Read wearing his green beret when arrested Umluana?
Sergeant Rashid handed Premier Umluana the warrant. If Umluana noticed Read's gun, he didn't show it. Umluana turned back to Rashid a second too soon. Trained to use small arms and gas weapons, they guarded certain borders, bodyguarded diplomats and UN officials, even put down riots that threatened international peace. Read went through six months training on Madagascar. Rather than resign, he accepted punishment which assigned him to weeks of dull, filthy extra labor. One power implied in the UN Charter no Secretary General or Inspector General had ever tried to use. The power to arrest any head of state whose country violated international law. The United States and Russia, trying not to get entangled, asked for more investigation by the UN. Umluana was defying world law.
 Read was in plain clothes. They were undercover.
 His beret was knocked off his head in the scuffle.  Read doesn't really like wearing hats.  Read was in plain clothes. They were undercover.  Read forgot that he placed it in his pocket earlier.
