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 Boykins 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 Divisions Victory Week celebration.

Obama destruction.
This has got to be some kind of friggin’ JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is he saying that “soldiers” now need a “safe space”?????
Please, c’mon, Trump...We gotta have you NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone that complained or broke down in tears should be immediately discharged and, if necessary, deported.
All of our enemies are laughing at us. And all of our friends are crying real tears.
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.
I don't think that would have worked very well when I was in, unless they have a proctologist that can remove a size 13 boot...
It’s highly likely that only very few complained, although such behavior is on the rise in New Rome. But everyone who gets into presidential office will support it, because those who complained are from very influential families (thus, the big putsch). Stuff “rolls downhill” takes on a new (and very old) meaning.
It’s all part of the collapse on the way.
Why don’t people just ignore those whiny complaints?
Worse... He's saying that the soldiers now outrank the Generals, and can countermand their orders.
Sure, the General is retired (but he keeps his rank and all the privileges), and sure, it's a breakfast and not a combat order,
You couldn’t have said that better, exactly what would have happened.
That is certainly a legitimate conclusion.
Substantially more concerning is that the commanding officers of those 'soldiers" must believe they also need a "safe space" (perhaps at least as long as ValJar is acting CiC).
Attention to all military members of the United States of America.Panty waist immature desk jockeys who only saw a weapon was in basic are as fit for combat as anyone wearing the uniform. One deployment and a few changes of underwear will either cure them or kill them. There is no crying while engaged in a fire fight. I can vouch for that. Fine before and after, but getting all emotional is a sure death wish. The public has a right to know who the idiots are. I don’t care about your sexual preferences, just do your dawn job and thank God you live in America.
Weinstein sounds like some sort of drama queen homo that needs to have his butt kicked. Only problem is it sounds as though he’d like it.
Worse... He's saying that the soldiers now outrank the Generals, and can countermand their orders.
Sure, the General is retired (but he keeps his rank and all the privileges), and sure, it's a breakfast and not a combat order, but some officer approved this and allowed the troops to overturn the decision.
So much for military chain-of-command.

I would wager that "Mikey" is full of good old bullshit, and never got a call one.
But because HE wanted to control events, he CLAIMED he got all these calls from crying soldiers (puke) and they cancelled over THAT?
We'll never know, of course - he'll claim some sort of privilege, can't reveal who called and all that... just have to take his word for it.
