Proof The Bible Is True

Retired American Delta Force hero Lt. Gen. William “Jerry” Boykin is expressing alarm about the ability of American soldiers to win a war given the fact they were “weeping” over the prospect of him speaking at a coming prayer breakfast.

“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 Fox commentator Todd Starnes, who wrote about the alarming situation in his column on Thursday.

The “weeping” reference comes from Mikey Weinstein of the Freedom From Religious Foundation advocacy campaign, who contacted officials at Fort Riley, Kansas, when he discovered Boykin, who once commanded the Army’s elite Delta Force and currently is vice president of Family Research Council, to insist that their plans to have Boykin speak at a prayer breakfast be dropped.

Within a day, military officials there met Weinstein’s demands, announcing the event would be rescheduled with another speaker.
