At last, Pvt Beauchamp’s, a.k.a. Scott Thomas, ambitions are revealed. Beauchamp wants to write military novels, just like Senator Jim Webb, Virginia. From Jack Kelly, Real Clear Politics:
In a blog entry for May 8, 2006, Pvt. Beauchamp describes an atrocity: “‘Put a 556 in his head.’ (The caliber of an M-16 rifle is .556 millimeters.) On the street below, the man’s brown face dissolves in a thick red mist. The lights in the city’s houses shut off in unison. Electricity rationing. Water rationing too. You ever tried to survive for more than a few hours in 120 degree weather?”
On May 8, 2006, Pvt. Beauchamp was in Germany, where temperatures rarely reach 120 degrees, and the electricity and water work just fine.
So question for Franklin Foer, editor the New Republic, at what point, if any, did you realze that S.T. Beaucamp wrote fiction
Addendum:(Bit) I’ll have some more on this tonight. I’m hearing some rumors about the relationships between this moron and at least one person inside TNR, that will explain rather a lot.
