THE LIEUTENANT GENERAL INSPIRES A NEW AWARD.
This afternoon CNN.com is running a story about a public slip of the tongue so mind-bogglingly bad that words fail me. Marine Lt. Gen. James Mattis is quoted as saying of Afghan men that "it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them" after they force their wives to wear the veil and otherwise abuse them. Read it and cringe here.
General Mattis is hereby the first nominee for Beacon's new Boykin Award, to be given at the end of the year to the public figure who does the most short-term damage to his or her country's long-term interests.
