"She questioned whether it was appropriate to honor a person who killed other people."
Only a liberal can denigrate a true war hero like this...
We can expect to see her in the Senate before too long!

Guys,
Sorry for trying to add some levity to this string. Sometimes it just doesn't translate.
Having been a big fan of Baa Baa Black Sheep and the lead character (portrayed by Robert Conrad) I recognize and appreciate the heroism of Pappy Boyington.
In real life, I imagine Conrad couldn't carry Boyington's duffel bag, let alone his image.
I'm sorry if I offended you.
I appreciate what the Marine Corps has done. As a former squid, I worked with Marines and appreciate the esprit de corps.
Regards,
Paloma_55
I once saw an interview with Conrad who had spent a good deal of time with Boyington in preparing for the role. Conrad just about admitted as much himself.
I just love it when FReepers post private e-mail they have received. </sarc>
If she replies to me have no fear...
Whew! I'd been quaking in my boots!
What I keep wondering is when it became okay for FReepers to ignore netiquette and act like inconsiderate lefties while simultaneously name-calling any lefties who act like boors... (not just directed at you, PittsburghAfterDark...I mean FR in general).
