Scott Thomas' Sergeant: "Not A Single Word Of This Was True."

Via [1]Ace, nice pickup from [2]The Foxhole
SFC McElroy,
Iâm not in the habit of answering these emailâs. It would be far
too many. I appreciate all the support from home and I can assure
you that not a single word of this was true. Weâve been fighting
this fight for quite some time. Numerous soldiers within my unit
have served on several deployments and this is my third year as a
First Sergeant in this unit. My soldiers conduct is consistently
honorable. This soldier has other underlining issues which Iâm sure
will come out in the course of the investigation. No one at any of
the post we live at or frequent, remotely fit the descriptions of
any of the persons depicted in this young manâs fairy tale. I canât
and wonât divulge any information regarding this soldier, but I do
sincerely appreciate all the support from the people back home.
Again, this young man has a vivid imagination and I promise you
that this by no means reflects the truth of what is happening here.
Iâm currently serving with the best America has to offer. I have
worked and fought closely with every soldier within my company and
they are consummate professionals in an area most people canât
fathom. Iâm proud of my soldiers and would gladly give my life for
any one of them. Please continue to keep them with you in your
prayers and thank God that we have these courageous men willing to
make the ultimate sacrifice for their country, Americans, and the
people of this struggling nation.
Sincerely,
1SG Hatley
That's about as emphatic a denial as I've ever seen.
This isn't quite dispositive, but it's looking very bad for TNR.
