Jeez, as these lib publications continue to get burned by these fake soldiers, they would quit putting their hand on the burner, or at lease check to see if it is on...JFK
Well, well, well. From TNR’s CYA piece:
Most important, we spoke with five other members of Beauchamp’s company, and all corroborated Beauchamp’s anecdotes, which they witnessed or, in the case of one solider, heard about contemporaneously. (All of the soldiers we interviewed who had first-hand knowledge of the episodes requested anonymity.)
Somebody is lying here. My gut says TNR.
How many good decent US warriors have fallen in this fight while this POS gets to live.
TNR wouldn’t get burned like this if they didn’t put ideology first. When you’re reporting “facts” through a screen of politics—left, right or whatever—you’re willfully blinding yourself.
No, it won't be interesting at all; it will be utterly predictable.
Some version of "we stand by our reporting - our guys are right - the entire Army investigation is a whitewash - of course the Army would say that".
That's a good piece of wisdom to start the day off with.
I disagree. I think they wished so much that it was true because it would be a Pulitzer-worthy scoop if so. But do they care about the damage done? Heck no.
I told my troops if I caught em talking to, corresponding with, or in the presence of, I would make their lives a living hell for the rest of their short military career under my leadership......
Presstitutes, polidiots are NOT the servicemen’s friends, nor have they EVER in modern times had the best interests of the individual troop in mind.
The MSM lackies will spin, twist and warp their dis-informational bullsh*t to sell they fictional sh*t’n shineola ! Be they a conservative, liberal socialist or hometown rag or teeeee veeeee station they will get you in more trouble than they will EVER help you......
We never had this problem in my team......senior NCO’s need to get a handle on this dog and pony BS . Cameras on ALL ops are for “official use only” intel gathering !
Ya wanna be a tourist then go join the peace corp.
As if they give a damn. The charges were made. thats all tha matters
It now appears that STB joined the Army with the “mission” in mind of being an anti-military muckraker, and making a name for himself for a post-military journalistic career.
What a POS.
What bothers me is that I doubt that their readers will give a damn.
There will not be any major out cry from their readers and no mass cancellation of subscriptions.
As far as your average TNR reader is concerned the article was Fake but Factual.
They support the troops but hate them while their doing it.
“TNR wouldnt get burned like this if they didnt put ideology first. When youre reporting facts through a screen of politicsleft, right or whateveryoure willfully blinding yourself.”
I spoke to our local reporter Thursday who told me that it was good articles weren’t trusted because it could be questioned.
IOW, we can lie our butts off because we have no responsibility to the truth.
I suspected a lot of papers published propaganda, but now I know it’s fact.
Well, if TNR said the sun was shining, I'd bring my raincoat, but to be fair, anyone who has ever been on the receiving end of an "official investigation" knows what they are all about.
