Tommy, the problem with Gen. Boykin Commanders is the fact his statements were taken out of context, he never said anything that isn't true, but Muslims caused a stink and his superiors ran off and threw him under a bus. His comments about Osman Ali Atto which caused his initial issues, were correct but again it looked like he was attacking only Islam, not Atto's real values/religion.
His comments regarding Islam are also correct, but people just don't want to defend it, because they're afraid of the fall out. Islamic terrorists are our threat, they are being fought by Christians (among others) and it's only natural for either side to defend their actions under the cover of religion. How else do you serve on Delta and three major conflicts resulting in thousands of deaths and still sleep at night?
