No, but I just read his Wikipedia BIO, He has several colorful career hi-lites.

I would like to here more about his consulting work with Janet Reno and her Texas BBQ..

yea...he has quite a history behind him. Unfortunate how things panned out at the end of his career. Brought on by himself though, in my book at least.

LTG Boykin was just on Foxnews yesterday..... It looked to be his "first" time on there as a consultant.

For who...GOD? He wandered a little ( ) to the RR over the last few years.

I just read the book and I thought it was really well written. I think the press made more of out of context religious quotes than was really there. He has always been forth coming about his Christianity. I have spoken with him a couple of times and found him to be extremely sincere. I have no idea what it is like to work for him, but the book is good- covers a broad and interesting life span.

Interesting.

Anyway, I have spoken to him and was under his command for some time. He always came across as a very sincere man and devoted to GOD (yeah, GOD) and his Country. To me, the man is an inspiration and has put himself at great risk throughout his career for the sake of others. In fact, I would bet that a very small percentage of us here have anywhere near the combat/special operations experience he has. And yet, he does not come on as a tough guy, or know-it-all - very rare indeed.
