The nepotism and personal corruption between Reeves and Beauchamp are important because they reveal a pattern/practice on the Left:
Nepotism.
Would Beauchamp had gotten a hearing absent a personal romantic relationship between himself and Reeves? Unlikely.
This is part and parcel of the elitism, “insider-ism” and anti-merit attitude of a connected, inter-married, and nepotistic elite that is fundamentally hostile to advancement on merit.
Very important and very revealing.
In order to be published in the New Republic, a soldier must have a personal sexual/romantic relationship with a staffer. No one else need apply.
