#1 The Boykin hubub strikes me as simular to the mini-firestorms on Santorum and Paige. Careful contextual editting always plays a key role in creation of the "quasi-scandel."

Is anybody really surprised that a military officer is a strong christian, and might talk about how he reconciles his faith with the business of killing people ... and speaks on the subject at a prayer breakfast?

#2 SH - exactly bro. It was said at a prayer breakfast in a church if I'm not mistaken. We used to have sponsored prayer breakfasts once a quarter in my old unit. My old C.O. was a big time bible thumper & all of us loved him even if we didn't always agree w/his stances. He cared big time about the lads in our unit. General Boykin is right for the most part as well. This is a war on us from radical islamists. I'm surprised the looney left has not called for a separation of chaplains outta the services yet. Since the tax payers pay them to be in the military and support religion at the same time. BTW- I responded to your question yesterday on the latin American strategy.

#3 Jarhead, I had real trouble making heads or tails out of this article. The future vision at the end seemed to be written after one too many Jose Cuervos.

Thank you for the response. I get frustrated sometimes having some of Venezuala that the US doesn't pay more attention to South America. It's like we expect Latin America to be messed up. If they ever turn things around, I wnat to take my wife down there. Never to Rio, though.

I got mugged walking on the beach with a chaplain and a buddy. The chaplain was from California and missed the beach.
