What is at stake is "loose lips sink ships." There's no unassailable right to that. Some might even call it treason.

Since I've attended four NSA sponsored Operations Security (OPSEC) conferences in the past year and was a speaker at two of them, I do believe I am fully qualified to access that.

There was no breach.
Loose lips sink ships when you divulge classified operational intelligence. That was not done.
Boykin expressed a personal religious view. Contrary to a few reporters writings, that, by itself, is not a national security matter...not even close.

I cannot even begin to understand where you get treason from his remarks...Have you ever read a manuscript of what he said? Do you know anything about this man's lifetime of service to America, the US Army, Special Forces, 12 years with Delta, etc.? Boyken has been the Commander of Delta, and the Commanding General of US Special Forces. He has been shot twice that I know of...and never shirked from combat duty. He has earned the right to have an opinion on anything.
