Yep, a tell-all tour sounds about right. But TNR’s blaming it on Army obstructionism in their “update” to the affair takes the cake!

His little tell-all will have to compete with those who haven’t tarnished their reputations. It is one aspect of the bloggers spending time in theater I’ve thought of several times: they will have a story to tell, and the creds to back it up. They, and the more literary among the troops, will swamp anything this pathetic product will manage to author.

What a mess he’s made of his young life. Someone ought to have taught him something about consequences–intended and otherwise.

More to the point…..

TNR is continuing their spin doctoring, but COL Boylan is spot on. There’s nothing stopping him from contacting anyone. If Beauchamp were truly the genius he claims to be (and had a set of balls to match his ego), he’d ask the unit PAO to coordinate for him, to keep things above board. That would cover him with his chain of command.

Nonetheless, I’m with you, Jules. He’s staying quiet to build up the suspense, so that when he out-processes, he can publish an instant best seller, make scads of cash, and finally get all that adoration that he craves so badly. It’ll be something like Catch 22, only with Bradleys instead of B17s.

However, I’m betting that Author Boy will leave the Army as he came in….as a private, at most a PFC. Which would be an amazing accomplishment in this day and age, when making Spec4 after a 4 year tour is virtually certain.

I sense a tell-all bestseller and a book tour coming on.

Yeah boy. But for the moment, Private B appears to know when to stop digging.
