I, sir, have bled to preserve the right for the General to speak freely and without fear of reprisal from those such as you. Have you bled to preserve your right to belittle better men than yourself? If you haven't, then you should thank the General for doing it for you.
The IG reports said that on more than 20 different occasions Boykin 1) Per DoD Directives and Army regulations failed to have his speeches appropriately cleared for thru security and public affairs; 2) Per DoD’s Joint Ethics Regulations he failed, on numerous occasions to issue the required disclaimer.
He knew he wasn’t supposed to do what he did, and he a Lt General w/ over 33 years in the Army, chose to violate Army and Joint regulations. He should have been shown the door.
Read the IG report for yourself.
