Anyone see Gen. Boynkin on 60 minutes?
I have a lot of empathy for what that man has been thru, BUT....

that kind of proselytizing is simply unacceptable from a member of our armed forces. The Tulsa World ran an excellent oped piece Sunday about how another officer was disciplined much more harshly for expressing political views while "in uniform". I do not want generals in my country's army going around demonizing other religions and other human beings.

6. Yeah, that's what he's been saying!
As the interviewer (I thought nicely) put it, that's where he looses most people.

9. Yes, they showed it. Satan in Mogadishu. Was this guy the reason
for the failures of the rescue mission for the hostages in Iran and the Mogadishu incident? Sure seems like a lot of his men died, but he made it out ok. Sounds like a crappy leader. My vet hubby certainly thought so
