		<description>SFC Cheryl:  &quot;The worst kept secret on Ft. Campbell was a 2 star general with MULTIPLE DUIs ON POST.&quot;  OH Hell Yeah.. &quot;Big John&quot; Gen. Keene!!!   I was there when he was CG...  3BDE 187th RCT... yeah a Rakkasan back then...  I was there when he got caught at the gate one night... word was all over post by the next day.   I ended up being &#039;no angel&#039; myself (3 field grades) Thats why the SP4 ended up being a &quot;P&quot; for permanant LOL!  I wasn&#039;t a dirtbag, but I enjoyed one too many a bar fight when it was the &#039;kinder gentler army&#039; and that wasn&#039;t allowable but I did my time and can respect someone who did...  Never could keep them stripes!!!

As far as D. Dematha:  you seem to really enjoy railing on people who you view as a REMF...  Checking DOD records I didn&#039;t find any &quot;D. DeMatha&quot; listed in ANY database...  Strange...  So either thats just your handle or yer as fulla crap as you accuse others of being.  Charlie Friggin Hardcore talking shmack?  

Well now, I agree that Beauchump is a POS, but at least he&#039;s honest about at least serving.  Thats about it tho... 

And BTW:  I&#039;m the guy who help bust Beauchamp out to Bob here in Kuwait regarding his fantasies on the Contractor Female with the Melted Face... I&#039;ve been here in the Middle East since 2003 and I also assist in the Project busting bogus special ops wannabes...  I&#039;ve got MY BT-DT-GTTS like you read about... hell... I got more trigger time in Iraq as a civilian than as an actuive duty soldier, to include Desert Storm.  My bonafides have been proven.  So do us all a favor there &#039;Chairborne&#039;... why don&#039;t &lt;b&gt;You&lt;/b&gt; STFD and STFU?</description>

Excerpts from the link:
recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degrade mustard or sarin nerve agents 
pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are &quot;assessed&quot; to still exist
pre-Guf War munitions &quot;could&quot; be sold on theblack market
The &quot;possibility&quot; of use outside Iraq cannotbe ruled out
The &quot;most likely&quot;....
It has been reported.........
Blah, blah, blah- 
All supposition. Nothing concrete here. (old stuff. I wonder how much would be found in this country)

OK, we found some radiocative material from a research facility. I&#039;m not impressed. How much radioactive medical waste do you think is disposed in this country every year?

U.S. troops raiding a warehouse in the northern city of Mosul uncovered a suspected chemical weapons factory containing 1,500 gallons of chemicals believed destined for attacks on U.S. and Iraqi forces and civilians, military officials said Saturday.

Jeez- I have chlorine bleach and Draino in my house. That can be used as a chemical weapon also.

Oh wow, look at this:

Troops have been ordered to falsify statements to cover a commanders&#039; fourth-point-of-contact for ages. Don&#039;t act like it doesn&#039;t occur. 
You need to get your ducks in order before you start blowing a lot of smoke like a dirty rotten-a$$ed leg. If you can&#039;t, you&#039;re no better than that punk Beauchamp.</description>

		<description>Hey all,

A few things. Warren is your typical moron lib. When a troop lies, you light his ass up. That Boachamp went out and lied in public and got himself lit up, all the better. STFU, he needs the stockade.

SFC &quot;McElroy&quot; you are another species of animal altogether. 

Drop the act, honey. I am a retired MSG and the way you carry yourself is a disgrace. I did 24 on active duty and I am now retired and working in IT for a private company. You need to get yourself some distance from your &quot;heroic&quot; service and get back to basics. Or a *job.*

You got busted from SPC to PFC? Big deal. Why bring that up? Your &quot;duty assignments&quot; were the Old Ironsides and the 101st? No, your duty assignments were Germany and Ft. Campbell, ate up. 

You were in Desert Storm? Excellent. Being female, your ass was *support* and you know it. Unless you were manning the .50 and feeding the rounds in yourself, STFU. I spent enough time watching support NCOs like yourself talk serious smack about sh*t that they know nothing about to know a POS like you when I see one. Don&#039;t think I don&#039;t remember being told I couldn&#039;t say anything about POS&#039;s like yourself. Those days are over. I will speak freely now, if you don&#039;t mind.

Most ate up officer in the Army? Company commander. I was a 1SG for two years, and I went through three of them. Each and every doggone one thought he was &quot;God Almighty&quot; and could tell a troop to sign sh*t with a word, never mind if it was &quot;Legal&quot; or not. YES they would tell a troop to sign things that were demonstrably wrong. YES I fought it and won. It&#039;s called being an NCO. If you didn&#039;t see that, you weren&#039;t an NCO or you couldn&#039;t hang as an NCO. 

I will not defend sh*tbag libs, but I ain&#039;t got the stomach to be in agreement with a sh*tbag SFC who did thirty and didn&#039;t pin on MSG. You must have been the most hardcore 71L in the whole shooting match over there. STFU, REMF. I wonder if we crossed paths. You were probably the one with the big ass.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;No doubt, SFC McElroy was one of those NCOs who wasn’t party to anything significant going on in her unit. Otherwise, had she ever led troops and done her job, she would have endless stories of butting heads with the 1SG, the Commander, the Battalion S-3, etc., over issues with troops. &lt;/I&gt;

So, you are willing to smear someone you don&#039;t know to defend an admitted fabulist?  Your &quot;salty&quot; view of the military seems as real as Beauchamps.  I served as well and found a far different experience.  So, we have at least two who served for more than &quot;a few years&quot; (your claim) and had a different take on the military and the chain of command.

But maybe you&#039;re right.  Maybe the company commanders do coerce testimony.  You certainly post about a number of CCs who were relieved because of dishonorable activity.  And, yet, in &lt;B&gt;this&lt;/B&gt; case, it was so incredibly effective that no proof exists at all.  Really ineffective around you, yet incredibly effective everywhere else.

Personally?  I think a person who has such a jaded view after only a few years was probably a slug who caught heat constantly and despised the soldiers who could hack it without whining.</description>

		<description>&quot;Big Country:
SFC Cheryl: Bravo! You sound like the kind of NCO I’d follow in a heartbeat.

Big Country SP4(Permanant) Med Ret.
Aug 23, 2008 - 3:57 pm&quot;

Thanks, Big Country! I had the reputation of telling people what they needed, rather then wanted, to hear. That got me in trouble more times than I can remember. We all make mistakes. I made plenty in my career, and paid for each one. I was certainly was no angel, and I&#039;m not getting a halo anytime soon. Those of us who served know all about the &quot;RHIP&quot; standard, but NCOs like me were tough but fair. When applicable, I gave the same breaks to my troops that I know were given to people of higher rank. Example: The worst kept secret on Ft. Campbell was a 2 star general with MULTIPLE DUIs ON POST.  He ended up being a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the Pentagon. My Chain of Command usually took things like that into consideration on a case-by-case basis. If we had a Soldier that was a consistant screw-up with a shitty work ethic and attitude, they weren&#039;t given the same consideration as one who was generally squared away.

Beauchamp is an attention whore with a beef against authority. He&#039;s in the wrong profession.</description>

If we had a Soldier that was a consistant screw-up with a shitty work ethic and attitude, they weren&#8217;t given the same consideration as one who was generally squared away.</p>
<p>Beauchamp is an attention whore with a beef against authority. He&#8217;s in the wrong profession.</p>

		<description>Oh yeah, one more thing Warren:

I personnally witnessed several Article 32s during my tenure in the 101st alone, and there were serious consequences, professionally, and financially for those involved. Some things have changed since your tour in &#039;Nam, which was probably spent in a drug-induced haze. See? I can make assumptons, too. As for butting heads: In my early days, I was busted from SPC to PFC for insubordination. There&#039;s a difference between my continued service and Beauchamp. I grew up. The military, across the board, has problems like any other segment of society, but by and large, the penalties for infractions, some of which would be considered minor in the civilian sector,  are much worse. 
Problems concerning Article 32s aside, If you admire the likes of a lying-agenda driven problem child like Beauchamp, that tells us all we need to know about your character.

		<description>Javelin,

Like warren, your cognitve reading skills are lacking:

In case you didn’t know, we found a substantial amount of hidden WMD along with documents and recordings in which Saddam Hussein emphatically stated his intention to continue WMD development and deception. 
1) Declassified NGIC report: 
http://www.foxnews.com/projects/pdf/Iraq_WMD_Declassified.pdf

2) 1.77 metric tons of enriched uranium: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/3872201.stm

3) 1,500 gallons of chemical weapons agents:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/13/AR2005081300530.html

4) Chemical warheads containing cyclosarin:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/news/archive/2004/07/02/international1018EDT0516.DTL
and: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,124576,00.html

5) Over 1,000 radioactive materials in powdered form meant for dispersal over populated areas:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/3872201.stm

6) Roadside bombs loaded with mustard and &quot;conventional&quot; sarin gas, assembled in binary chemical projectiles for maximum potency: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,120137,00.html

Those weapons were previously unknown to U.N. inspectors.

Oh yeah, and his terrorist connections:
He gave thousands of dollars to families of suicide bombers and in addition, Iraqi intelligence met with al Qadea operatives and provided with training camps in Northern Iraq:

The Mother of All Connections
From the July 18, 2005 issue: A special report on the new evidence of collaboration between Saddam Hussein&#039;s Iraq and al Qaeda.

Saddam Hussein, as evidenced by the WMD found, his previous use, continued willingness to use them, and the documents discovered which connected him to terrorists, was a threat. The fact remains that the inspectors got absolutely nowhere with regard to full disclosure of Hussein’s WMD program.

I’m an Iraq War vet, and I’m damned glad we not only invaded, but took out the sonofabitch and got those WMDs before anyone had the chance to use them.  Had I the power, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Iran (for starters) would have been asphalt parking lots on 12 September 2001. But, I&#039;m a former Soldier, not a diplomat.
Hussein wasn’t the only threat.  Just one of them.  But, not anymore, is he?</description>

		<description>Warren,

You asshat. If you read the bio as closely as you should have, you&#039;ve had known that I was with the 1st Armored in Desert Storm and 101st Airborne in OIF.  I was in Iraq TWICE in combat zones. Not exactly a peacetime Army. I jumped forward contantly with FOBs and mobile TOCs to gather and disseminate intel to subordinate units.
Don&#039;t even try to impune my service or integrity. 

I butted heads plenty.

You can go back to playing with yourself, now.</description>
