Would it really make a difference to Boykin's enemies whether he were in uniform or not? We both know they'd still be calling for his resignation. It's *where* he was that makes the difference. He wasn't exhorting the troops to spread Christianity. He was talking to fellow Christians about shared beliefs. And they were by no means inflammatory statements, either. He's a general, whether in uniform or not, so what difference does it make what he was wearing? The point is, he is free to believe what he wants to believe about God, and especially to talk about it in a church.
