Jill isn't even fit to utter Boyinbton's name.
It's probably a waste of time to remind this snot-nosed twit that were it not for all the WWII veterans like Col. Boyington and my father she would likely be speaking a different language now. Japanese west of the Mississippi and German east to the Atlantic. She might react to that news by saying, "..whatever, at least they make good cars."
Boyington's
Marine, not soldier.
If that is the case, then they need a policy of NO statues. Not on "merit based appeals" that are refused for racist and antiAmerican reasons.
Actually, I think it's time some right thinking alumini got together and started insisting on hiring some right thinking professors. Either that, or stop funding the mess that currently exists.
There's some pleasant irony in that picture, with the evil capitalist advertising so close to Lenin's head...
It is also why this president infuriates the libs so much.
Maybe he ran as a Democrat at some point.
If you go to the original article it's linked there.
snipped from "Grenada, Operation Urgent Fury (23 October - 21 November 1983)"
But the loudest sounds of all were the cheers of rescued medical students. Casually dressed, they carried only what they had grabbed at a moment's notice. Looking more like tourists than refugees, they cheerfully boarded C-141 aircraft ready to fly to the United States.
In the meantime, students at the Grand Anse campus were still trapped inside a wall of PRA soldiers and Cubans.
"Marine helicopters and Rangers were combined to outflank the line of resistance," said Scott. "We did a vertical assault--or vertical rescue--and inserted Rangers behind the line. The students were taken out by helicopter while the resisting forces were beaten down."

Certainly, if one were to propose a statue of Joseph Stalin, the University would be dissapointed that they hadn't already done that.
Now we're talkin'.
What do you think Pappy's response to a memorial for him would be anyway....?
A few other things to consider:
1) The Mariner's stadium is the only major league baseball stadium in the United States that refuses to display the American flag where it can be seen from outside the stadium (with the exception of a tight shot you can get through a seam while standing under an overpass on the otherside of the railroad tracks).
2) In another upscale Seattle community a statue of Lenin is prominently displayed...not the musician.
3) Seattle 911 has it's busiest day of the year when the Blue Angels are flying over Lake Washington...complaining about those "military jets". The anti-military feelings are so bad the Blue Angels even cancelled one year.
American Imperialism is bad and we deserved to be attacked at Pearl Harbor. Japanese Imperialism was good because they were a diverse culture.
And he was a white guy anyway. You just "know" he must have been racist.

Political correctness is despotism. Sounds like these kids really DON'T support the troops.
When the Battle for America is staged on our land, please get Ms. Edwards to stand up and fight for America. If she fails to do so then America is lost. But, she doesn't have to fight. Men like Pappy Boyington, a man who battled his own demons, but a man nevertheless, will take her place on the front line and secure the peace for Americans. This will allow her and her ilk the right to speak as they wish. By the way, if America loses, then she doesn't get to speak at all. They all forget that freedom is not free.
Jill Edwards is representative of how big a waste higher education is becoming in this country. It would be quicker to just cut a hole in their skulls and scoop out the cognitive portion of their brains with a melonballer to achieve the same results that four years of college education produces nowadays.
