Know why?
Because he is a REAL warrior General, the first commander of the Army's Special Forces Operational Detachment "D" (As in Delta), and a REAL live practicing non apologetic Christian.
Boykin was a founding member of Delta, but not the first commander. That was Charlie Beckwith.
I met LTG (ret ) Boykin at a men’s conference several years ago. He has a great sense of humor and doesn’t mince words. He stressed that we are currently in the fight of our lives against enemies within and outside. He really knows American history and that the Lord gave us the gift of liberty that we need to defend with all we have.
