A retired general linked Clinton’s marital vows to the legitimacy of his orders

Evidence

Boykin starts off with a lengthy reminiscence about “the longest day of my life,” the eighteen-hour firefight that ended with “fifteen of my men brought back dead.” Referring to President Bill Clinton, who authorized the raid, Boykin says, “We were sent in there to do this job by a man who was a philanderer. As far as I’m concerned, and I will tell you right now, he was a lowlife. Because he didn’t understand the concept of integrity. He didn’t understand that a vow is a vow. Like when you stand before God and you say, ‘I’ll honor and respect this woman I’m about to marry till death do I part.’ That’s why elections matter.” — Katherine Stewart, The Power Worshippers, 96
