Don't you just hate it when the president is doing political correctness to the military, allowing the chicks and gay and such to serve their country like some kind of people who want to serve their country, and you can't even kill him? Retired Lt. General William Boykin -- the dude so nucking futs that even George Dubya Bush had to go apology touring for him back in the olden days and saying stuff like, "Nah, we don't really hate Muslims
Because nobody takes Gen Boykin seriously outside the wingnut bubble. Not for even a minute. He believes with apparent sincerity, that there are hordes of demonic Muslins set to invade the US on the President&#039;s Satanic orders. <a href="http://shariahthethreat.org..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://shariahthethreat.org/team-b-ii-calls-upon-...">http://shariahthethreat.org... See here, his fine work at the Center for Security Policy, staffed with his fellow delusional cranks.
Wow. That was a tedious self-righteous wank. As we all know, Christianity NEVER co-opted earlier pagan traditions, like the name of the day Jesus supposedly was crucified.
I despised Dubya as President. Yet if Dubya was having a heart attack in front of me, I&#039;d have given him one of the nitroglycerin pills I carried at the time. But I suspect Dick Cheney would not have done the same.
Maybe I am reading the quoted text wrong, and maybe there was more to the story than that, but what it looks like Boykin is saying is, &quot;Chill, citizen and can the coup talk -- we don&#039;t do that here in the US of A and we aren&#039;t about to start.&quot;
We can criticize certain aspects of the military all we want, but one thing that we can never accuse them of is disloyalty. It (loyalty) is a really huge thing to them.
He probably sees himself as Burt Lancaster in &quot;7 Days in May,&quot; but he&#039;s actually George Macready in &quot;Paths of Glory.&quot;
I see Boykin has cited &quot;People I&#039;ve spoken to&quot;, a source only second to &quot;Studies show...&quot; and &quot;it is said...&quot;. Wikipedia got nothing on you, Boykin. A more accurate quote would be &quot;People I&#039;ve hallucinated speaking to me&quot;
Well, besides that.

Am I missing something?
Proving once again my theory: the last five years have just been a big-budget re-imagining of &quot;Blazing Saddles.&quot;
And why isn&#039;t he being asked for the names of all these people who want to see the President assassinated?

I agree, it really should have been updated when we adopted the UCMJ, but this is an oath that predates 1951 by quite a bit.

Those who don&#039;t study history are destined to make stupid fucking mistakes about the most basic of dates.
The news here is that he read more than just the second half of the Second Amendment.

He loves &quot;Taxi Driver&quot; and dreams about Jodie Foster.
