The comment that Beauchamp is now a PV-1, reduced from a PV-2 is telling: it’s almost unheard of in the Army. A PV-1 is a trainee, a title reserved for those new troops in Basic Training.
Generally, once out of Basic Training, if you mess up badly enough, rather than being busted all the way down to PV-1, the Army will provide you with a bad-conduct discharge (Other Than Honorable).
It rather indicates just how good and stable a Troop Beauchamp wasn’t, and that he has an serious agenda and an axe to grind against the Army.
