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,

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).

"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!
