This interview is a mirror. Those who hang desperately to the whole “uniform makes you a monster” philosophy will not be disabused by the facts. For them, truth does not matter — only the story. They are kin to the pressman.
For those who are interested in truth, this article says much in what it doesn’t say. The Army couldn’t find supporting evidence. No investigation has infinite resources to be infinitely thorough, but it’s hard to hide things when you have as many eyes on you as you do at war.
For instance, if Beauchamp was right, tales like this would be easily sourced. That they can’t be independently verified, and that a magazine with a history of outright lying should be evidence enough of fraud.
But that’s the perspective from a guy who is interested in the truth, and not someone who hates America first, facts or no facts.
