His pseudonymous work was polished and published by The New Republic, igniting a sh*t-storm in the right blogosphere, who cast doubt on his story and his very existence. When Beauchamp publicly identified himself, the narrative changed to questioning motivation and attacking him personally.

It's a rhetorical question just like yours, ST. But there is a reason they willingly disparage the military. John Kerry made a political name for himself and built a career out of disparaging his fellow soldiers "reminiscent of Ghenghis Khan". Those trying to repeat the performance are ignorant of the blogosphere that can fact check and verify. I'm still waiting for an apology from Newsweek over the Koran flushing lies... the riots that killed people following that report are indicative of a recklessly irresponsible press. Meanwhile the surge IS working.
