As the Scott Thomas Beauchamp episode explodes in the antiwar Left's face (a fact I expect the MSM to keep very quiet about) we are left with this the most troubling aspect of the whole episode...
There’s no rational logic in much of anything that this guy did. Why did he think he could get away with writing nonsense in a national journal, where there was always a potential that someone could read it and call him out on it? Why did he write about murderous US officers in Iraq when he was still in Germany or wherever. Why did he do any of what he did, including joining the Army on the presumption that he would a) survive the war at all and b) become some famous writer out of it. We’re not dealing with an entirely rational actor here.

If you’re looking for a tight, logical answer to each move that he made in this, you’re going to be dissatisfied. The model you’re looking for is more along the lines of a trapped animal than a cold, rational and logical operator.
Actually I understand the actions of a trapped animal, I even often understand how they wound up in the trap,....what I can't understand are the deeds of Liberalis Homus Superior.
Compliments to Hot Air.
