Pappy Boyington was a tough dude!

I remember seeing him put a battery on his shoulder and daring someone to knock it off.

And then there was the time he used a special knife that fit into his cowboy boots to cut a rope and free his partner Artemus from a certain death!

Whatta man!

Boortz lurks on FR. He must, he's always several days behind what Freepers already know.

Not enough times to suit me.

And, I'm no Boyington fan.  Definitely not.

But I am a fan of those who honor veterans, and I am especially a fan of those who honor Medal of Honor recipients.

Boyington was both.

Why are you mocking Boyington? Do you have some inside information that gives you reason to do so?

I shall report her words of stupidity.

Whole different discussion . . .

Best to save it for a later time and a different thread. I'd rather focus on the disrepect of UW students toward military heroes.

Read the minutes for that meeting and note who followed this twit....

Ashley Miller commented that many monuments at UW already commemorate rich white men.

WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING TO THIS COUNTRY?

Just how many poor or minority individuals are building new centers on college campi? How many poor minorities have shaped American life and not become RICH minorities?

The stupidity of the left never, never, ever ceases to amaze me.

unfortunately, we have too many people in this country who don't or want to beleive that their or REAL problems facing us and that they have to be addressed by someone..these same people have no respect whatsoever for our armed forces..just last night on "hannity and colmes", sean was talking to some san franciso supervisor/politician on honoring the U.S.S. IOWA..this clown flat out stated to sean and even alan colmes that we don't need a military...yeah, you heard it right, we don't need a military...this is what we're dealing with..talk about disturbing..

Have you looked at a picture of Col. Boyington? He's got more claim to native American heritage than some college professors. He was NOT rich, or white, but he was a man.

Dear Mr. or Ms. Paloma_55,

Col. Gregory Boyington, USMC is not the same person as actor Robert Conrad.

Just thought you'd like to know...

Sorry, I just thought it needed some touching up.

UW (Seattle) is so far to the left that they make UC Berkeley look conservative.

Who here among us can claim to be a perfect person? I'm not and I would bet battleships to donuts that there is not a perfect person on all of Free Republic... Or on the entire Earth!

Pappy Boyington was not the character played by Robert Conrad on the TV series. Pappy was a drunkard, a womanizer and one of those guys that never really grew up... I confess I have many bad qualities in common with Major Boyington.

Yet he was a warrior, a United States Marine Corps Warrior. Blooded in vicious combat in what the liberals hold their nose and call 'The Good War.'

Pappy Boyington won the Navy Cross and the Medal of Honor not for his personality or personal charms or faults...

They were awarded for his bravery above and beyond the call of duty in the highest traditions of the Marine Corps.

To not honor Pappy Boyington's military service is to denigrate each and every man or woman who every wore a military uniform in defense of the nation.

That is just what the liberals in our mist want... And If there is anything I can do about it, they will never succeed!

Then the lovely Jill Edwards said that a member of the Marine Corps was not an example of the sort of person the University of Washington wanted to produce.

As an alumnus of the University of Washington, I submit that it is the likes of Jill Edwards that is not the sort of person that the UW should want to produce.
