(135,425 posts)But this guy is not The Messenger. His documents are not matching his assertions. He isn't coming from a place of understanding--he barely worked at BAH for four lousy weeks. He didn't come to any grand realization based on the work he was doing. He knew he was going to get caught. He was told there was a "problem" with his clearance and he knew the shit was about to hit the fan.
He lied on his resume, he'd been lying for years, he may have even gotten phony educational documents to join the Army. All that, once they started investigating who did his background checks, going all the way back to his ENTNAC and NAC for his failed Army career, would show a pattern of document falsifying and untruths that would have put him in EXTREME hot water. That, I think, is why he ran. Either that, or he's unwell.
In any event, he's not telling the truth. He's a bullshitter, and I call him "Dreamy Eddie" because that's how he's touted by his acolytes. He's so....cuuuuuuuuute, doncha know! His half-naked pictures are everywhere! Surely that soulful look and that pinched moue are just the thing to make the ladies swoon!
And the one who is desperate is Eddie. Tick tock--he's running out time and places to run TO.
