general bumpkin fading away...

Damn! I was hoping the next president would get to fire his ass:

An army general who led the Pentagon's effort to hunt down Osama bin Laden and once likened the war on terror to a Christian struggle against Satan is retiring, a Pentagon spokesman said Monday.

Lieutenant General William Boykin's departure ends a legendary 36 year career, most of it as a special operations warrior and member of the army's elite Delta Force counter-terrorism unit.

This guy should've been canned the day he was videotaped yawping the bible while in uniform. Not that Hillary will ever stand up to the Evangelitan wing of the Military (and certainly not Mitt, now that he's on cruise control in Iowa), but ours would be a better military without the uniformed Jumbo Shrimp (a.k.a., "conservative Christian"), who swear to defend and uphold the Constitution, then push Jesus-from-the-Old-Testament down subordinates' throats. Only way to deal with this uppity-to-Dem-presidents lot is kick 'em out of the military, starting with the the Air Force Academy commandant.
