Every morning I get up and say I’m Scott Beauchamp, in the army, living in Germany, and this is my life, and I’m going to be treated like shit today and do landscaping and janitorial work and practice killing people and there could be no other way to appreciate what I had or what I’m going to have once I get out other than enduring this now when all I really want to do is teach history and lay around and read and hustle around and repair the world (tikkun olam) and sift through knowledge and improve culture and learn how to sail and work in soup kitchens and start a family and really, I mean REALLY study the best the western civilization has to offer and facilitiate the mystery and power through everything I do, 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.

And there is a picture of this lazy ass too!

So if I step forward and state that Joe Blow is a pedophile, when I know he’s not, I’m being “honorable” because I’ve Id’d myself?
I’m going to have to disagree with you.

Let me get this straight. The New Republic publishes an article by a soldier and in that article the soldier writes that he made fun of a disfigured woman wounded in combat. Why would they publish something by an author so comtemptible?

Here’s a guy in big trouble with his superiors - and his “buddies” - unless we get political pressure to excuse his inexcusable actions. This kid is craving the attention he never got at home or the ass kicking he deserved.

Scott Thomas never wanted to be anything but a private anyway. Bet the chow line is going to be interesting.

Pray for W and Our Troops

I love that he is BUSTED

I've read the same kind of stuff aabout him and his agenda, and knowing the guys I know who have been over there, it was obvious he was and is just full of it.

I hope they give him a dishonorable discharge. I don't think he will go the same route as John Kerry......

Hang in there with the temps. I still have a pic of my son in battle gear with a thermometer over 120 right next to him.

Good bumping into you again on the forum.

The infamous "Scott Thomas" has come clean and admitted who he is.

He just knew that any SQL search would reveal him pretty quickly. So he was forced to do the "honorable" thing before he was outed. Writing styles are pretty characteristic.

Hey, if he didn’t want to fight an ideological battle, why the heck is he in the ARMY?

I wonder how often this kind of thing happens in journalism? Keep in mind who his finance is now known to be and read this article that she wrote in 2004. Note who is quoted in the second paragraph:

Mid-Mo. protesters hit D.C.

They joined a march in support for reproductive rights.

By ELSPETH REEVE and DANIELA VELÁZQUEZ

April 26, 2004 | 12:00 a.m. CST

Washington — Hundreds of thousands of people descended on the nation’s capital Sunday to protest recent U.S. policies regarding women’s reproductive health. Included in the throng of marchers were more than 100 young men and women from the Columbia area.

“I don’t think there’s usually enough men at these kind of events, so it’s really important to show up and support it,” said Scott Beauchamp, who endured a 24-hour bus ride from Columbia to attend Sunday’s march. “I think it’s really a civil rights issue.”

BWT, I did a quick search before posting it and didn't see any blogs or news sites covering the TNR bombshell

Google reveals some big blogs posting on it starting at least ten hours ago (Hot Air TV, Gateway Pundit).

Call Patrick Fitzgerald to investing the outing of Elspeth Reeve! Political intimidation!

You know that Dick Cheney just has to be to blame for this.

Yup, Elsbeth is a really honest and forthright so-called “journalist” — quoting her boyfriend/fiance gives her an easy, biased source without any effort, and gets his name in the paper...... that’s a two-fer if you are a dishonest, lazy leftist hack.

She did that while in journalism school. Just makes you wonder how many professional (and I use that term loosely) journalist do that to this day.

Yeah, I read something Weekly Standard that listed what was being said on some blogs and one had the same theme: now that he’s known I bet he’s standing straight getting grilled by a CO that wants to know why he didn’t report the instances as required.

He either has to admit he embellished or made up the stories or he’ll have to fill out reports, be questioned, name names and face trouble for the reason above.

Not very smart.

Are these leftist SO DUMB they think they can pull that Vietnam crap again? Hello....bloggers, more news competition, more people to ask questions, Internet, emails. Oh wait, their leftist, of course.

And I believe they said some already figured out who he was (used his same first and middle initials when “anonymous”) and “outed” him. HA HA

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

Google reveals some big blogs posting on it starting at least ten hours ago (Hot Air TV, Gateway Pundit).

And I posted this twelve hours ago. What's your point?

When I googled "scott thomas beauchamp" on blogs this morning, I think there was one hit, the TNR piece.

She also isn’t all that talented: her Tour de Force was a piece in sarcastic defense of Ann Coulter.

Says more about them than us: you can’t become famous among your fellow fish unless you take on Evil conservative women. Yet, she took a ton of flack from people who didn’t “get it”.

Google “Elspeth Reeve” and you’ll come across its impact.
