General Boykin
Edited on Fri Oct-17-03 05:10 PM by nadinbrzezinski
Well we are all outraged.. here is what you all do

You write a letter to Congress DEMANDING the boy be fired.

Couch it in legal terms.

These are the talking points to use... (My husband is in the
navy soon to be out)

General Boykin engaged in political activities while in Uniform

This is forbiden by the UCMJ

The man has violated his oath, and has undermined good
order and discipline in the US Army, as engaging in
political activity while in uniform is now allowed. Yes
troops can now legally critize the CiC.

He has also engaged in conduct unbecoming of an officer of
the united states army

He has disobeyed a legal lawful order (to stay out of
poltiics)

Moreover military personnel do not have first ammendment
rights, but stand Before the Constitution they defend
not behidn the Constitution.

If he should not be reprimanded, disciplined and even chashiered,
his viwes are now official policy of the US Army. This will only
undermine the war on terror.

Work with these talking points... I know you can all do it.

Oh and here is the grocery list of who you send lettters to:

Congressional Delegations, does not matter what party they are...
the more deluged the better. Department of Defense, send it to
Rumsfeld...

Oh and CC the letter to your local paper.

Make sure that is noted.

It is that important.
