George Allen pushing promotion of theocratic general



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

George Allen is really working the right wing. We know he wants theocratic judges. Now he's pushing for theocratic generals. He wants General Boykin to command US Special Operations. Who's Boykin?:

In 2003, Boykin gave speeches at evangelical Christian churches in which he painted the war on terror as a Christian fight against Satan and suggested that Muslims worship idols. Boykin later apologized for his characterizations as conservatives rushed to defend him.

A Pentagon investigation the following year found that Boykin violated regulations by failing to make clear he was not speaking in an official capacity when he made the speeches, sometimes wearing his Army uniform. The probe also found Boykin violated Pentagon rules by failing to obtain advance clearance for his remarks.
