Boykin bounced: Fort Riley cancels Delta Force hero's prayer breakfast speech
Fox News ^ | June 2, 2016 | Todd Starnes

A Kansas military base abruptly canceled an upcoming prayer breakfast that featured retired Lt. General Jerry Boykin after complaints were lodged that Boykin is anti-Muslim and anti-gay.

Military Religious Freedom Foundation founder Mikey Weinstein told Army Times that Boykin’s invitation had caused great angst among soldiers at Fort Riley – leading some to break down in tears.

“I have clients of ours weeping on the phone about this,” he said.

Weeping? Oh, please.

“I sincerely doubt that America can expect to win wars if the people who are tasked to do so are frightened by an old retired general with biblical views and a testimony of faith,” Boykin told me.

Boykin, an original member of Delta Force and an executive vice president of the Family Research Council, was scheduled to deliver remarks at a June 6th prayer breakfast. The event was set to be held in conjunction with the 1st Infantry Division’s Victory Week celebration.

I agree...What really ticks me off is the command bowed to his wishes and complaint.

IMHO Mikey Weinstein is a drama queen because he’s a queen. He’s 0bama’s buttboy..

You know who is laughing the loudest? Obama and the ‘Rat Party. They accomplished something that no one has been able to do in 250 years - turned the United States Armed Forces into an international laughingstock.

It alarms me that so many in this country cannot recognize the antichrist spirit he exudes. And acts upon.

Tells me we’re in the closing hours of the Church Age.

“Worse... He’s saying that the soldiers now outrank the Generals, and can countermand their orders.”

Years ago I you used to have to ask an operator to make an Autovon (Long Distance) and first you had to state the precedence. I was on an exercise that everyone was complaining that, “cooks are preempting generals!”

Has Trump directly addtessed this homo, feminazi BS?

I really believe that one or more of our enemies will hit us hard while the military is in shambles and morale underwater.

I’d say the stench follows that queen wherever he goes.

I haven’t specifically heard him address the homo thing in our military but he sure has addressed their lower strength and effectiveness under 0bama.

Or at minimum, disarmed. Because if they are crying over this, they have problems.

I laughed when I read your comment. I have a close friend who was meeting with his battalion commanders and putting together a list of officers and units for their next deployment. He came across a couple of officers who had been in the Army for ten years and had never been deployed.

He told me they went to the top of the list. Who the hell was in the Army for that long and hadn’t been deployed. He said, “I am sure as shit not going back for a fourth time before these guys get to go once.”

I guess he wasn’t popular that night at dinner.

If China, Russia, Iran or even North Korea wages war upon the United States, BE PREPARED TO DIE QUICKLY AMERICA. I am quite confident of that.

.....

Find out who your liberal democrat neighbors are... make sure if the above scenario occurs you have enough lead for them first then the invaders. The dem neighbors will be the first to sell u out to the invaders.

Sounds like Weinstein needs to be wrapped in a pigskin and fed some bacon. Maybe that would make a man of him.

pensions...the pension whores will be the death of America....

I have to say, even with a mom and dad buried under a flag, both WW2 vets, and with 3 brothers, three bils and a husband having served, I really have lost my faith in our military....

Wow, your family brings tears to my eyes. Thank you so very much for such service.

I also have lost a lot of faith in our military, but mostly our citizens. They seem to revel in the decay. I can hardly watch the news these days.
