"Army Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin has made several speeches - some in uniform - at evangelical Christian churches in which he cast the war on terrorism in religious terms."

"Is the general entitled to say anything he wants, any place he wants?"

So he's not entitled to express an opinion of an adversary in a church?

- some in uniform

That is the problem. Otherwise, yes. Out of uniform he's speaking as a private citizen, in uniform he's speaking for the Army. He's a big Army cheese. He certainly will be questioned about it. Were he a sergeant, he'd probably get an Article 15.
