So are you saying then that TNR invented the numerous corroborations for the Kuwait mess hall story? I recognize TNR is trying to cover their asses, and yes, Beauchamp lied about the time and place of “The Crypt Keeper” saga as he and his friends called her. But all of his friends involved corroborated it, and were even the ones who tipped it off that it was in Kuwait, not Iraq. But that is just the point of it. That was before any of them ever set foot in Iraq. People like Beauchamp seek out their own kind, and they all sound like they enjoy a good laugh at the misfortune of others. There are assholes everywhere, especially fresh out of high school, so don’t try to pretend like none of them ever enlist. But what TNR tried to do was use this knuckledhead as propaganda for a political statement about what war supposedly does to our innocent, fresh-faced kids. But the truth came out that he was already a jerk, and always has been.
I have not seen corroborations. What I have seen are the same people who first told the now-discredited stories claiming that unnamed others have corroborated their new versions of those stories. I believe these new claims by TNR even less than I believed the original stories which was not at all.
