No, there is record of this guy, it seems he is who he says he is. But that was never the issue. The issue is, did he actually see these atrocities, or did he make them up? And if he did see them, why didn't he report them.

Also, this is from his Myspace page:

..., but I cant do it without getting through this army experience first, which will add a legitimacy to EVERYTHING i do afterwards, and totally bolster my opinions on defense, etc, and of course its making me a lot less lazy, just because im not use to being lazy any more, etc.

IOW, he joined the military to legitmize his liberal opinions.

Yeah, when I posted that, it was just my initial reaction. The point being that I wouldn’t be so quick to suddenly believe anything he says now.

I’ve read up on all of that stuff since, and now I’m convinced this is all part of a plan for him to run for Congress as a Democrat in 2008.

Non-newsy BTTT.

No, he joined the military to get the credentials to make him a STAR in the world of liberal idiocy.
