More on Beauchamp and Foer

Mike Yon runs into Scott Beauchamp's battalion commander and learns a few things about Beauchamp that most of us didn't know -- including something that speaks well of the embattled young soldier's character. The war's most brilliant correspondent (that would be Yon, not the other guy) has formed one opinion of the private, another of his erstwhile editors, and both are worth considering. 

I probably shouldn't ever mention Mike without saying I first met him when he was a young private (PFC actually) in a lot of trouble, and I definitely shouldn't mention Mike without saying that Ernie Pyle was the Mike Yon of World War II. I am usually vague when I mention Mike's stories because I want my few readers to go join his many readers -- they will use their time more productively that way. 

And a blog from Phoenix that I haven't noticed before, Exurban League, has the USA-Today style infographic to make sense of Foer's callous disregard of the First Law of Holes. 

Laughing Wolf at Blackfive (if not the best milblog, one of the -- naaah, it is the best milblog) isn't going to believe that Foer ever filed a FOIA request unless Fabricating Frank shows the request. Reasonable, considering the tiny shreds of truth that have had to be practically tortured out of him, one reluctant revelation at a time. Wolf also reports that crapweasels are suing Michelle Malkin for comparing them to Fabricating Franklin. Mrs. Malkin was really out of line on that one. 

(Wolf, by the way, is the previously mentioned blogger who has spoken directly to PVT Scott T. Beauchamp. He mentions that in the post linked above). 

Bob Owens dismantles Foer noch einmal. In fact, just go to the root level of his blog because I'm sure he will have more to say, and I'm sure it will be worth reading.
