Unfortunately, the people who choose to believe Beauchamp’s nonsense will also believe that the IO and the rest of his command are just trying to silence a brave “progressive” soldier for speaking truth to power. After all, if the Army lied about progress in Vietnam, they must be lying about this, right? That the investigation revealed no factual basis for the stories simply means the Army is trying to avoid airing its dirty laundry. That Beauchamp was further investigated for the contents of his blog means the Army is trying to punish him for bucking the system. Totally obvious to anyone who hasn’t been duped by Government lies. It’s all there in Black & White.
