The Scott Thomas Beauchamp controversy concerns the publication of a series of diaries by Scott Thomas Beauchamp (b. 1983 St. Louis, Missouri) - a private in the United States Army, serving in the Iraq War, and a member of Alpha Company, 1/18 Infantry, Second Brigade Combat Team, First Infantry Division.<1><2>

In the The New Republic, under the pen name "Scott Thomas", Beauchamp filed three entries about serving at Forward operating base Falcon, Baghdad. These entries concerned alleged misconduct by soldiers, including Beauchamp, during the US post invasion Iraq involvement.

Several conservative publications and bloggers questioned Beauchamp's statements. The New Republic investigated and concluded the statements were true, excepting the setting of one that was later said to have occurred prior to combat in Kuwait rather than during combat in Iraq. The U.S. Army investigated and concluded the statements were false. As of August 2007, both parties held to their respective conclusions.
