Not quite. From the initial New York Times article:
"Lt. Gen. William Boykin of the Army, deputy under secretary of defense for intelligence and war-fighting support, has used speeches at churches and prayer breakfasts to portray the American battle with Muslim radicals as a fight against "Satan," saying militant Islamists sought to destroy America "because we're a Christian nation.""
He was speaking at the church and prayer breakfasts, about the War on Terror, calling it a war against Satan, IN HIS UNIFORM.
That's my problem with it, as much as I hate what he said, had it been in private, not using his position to justify it in speechs to the public about the war, I'd have no problem. It would make my blood boil, but he has the right to say whatever he wants when he's not wearing the uniform and speaking in public about US policy.
Waychel,
Yes, I know. I'm simply saying |
