After listening to the comments of Scarborough Country, and reading what is posted on the Web, I am very happy to say, I am glad that my grand children did not go to the U of W, if it were not for men like Boyinton, they might not be so free with their speech. God Bless him and all that have lost their lives, put thier lives on the line for US. Elloise

I'm not surprised at the poor attitude of U.W. If an Engineering alumnus who flew an obsolete plane in china with the Flying Tigers, and took a plane that the navy didn't want, and trained neophyte pilots to decisively beat a truly vicious foe, receiving the Purple Heart, Navy Cross, and Medal of Honor is not the kind of person the student body wants to remember and respect, I am fine with that. I'm also in favor of Osama Ben Laden using those privileged little brats and their Draft-Dodging Professors as a Bulls Eye. He doesn't care what your politics are. To the enemies of our Nation we are all the same. Thank God for people like Greg Boyington, and the rest of us who allow these self-righteous little pricks to voice an opinion. Inside they know they are afraid to stand up in a real fight. They hate the police until they are victims. They hate the Military until they themselves are under a enemies gun, and they hate politicians who make them feel as truly pathetic as they are. Courage is something the left never has had. Their Professors tell them protest is the highest expression of democracy. Just like Jane Fonda did. Give her a memorial.

Go here, read about him, and understand Greg Boyington was not only a war hero but a strong individualist with an anti-authority streak. If some of you could have met him your opinion would likely change. Don't march to the brainwashing drumbeat of leftist professors and their robot activist, learn and think (which is what higher educations is supposed to be all about anyway).

The University doesen't deserve to place a memorial to a hero of Boyingtons statue on their campus. I bet they would be behind a draft dodger memorial though.

Anjin San:

"kids anr entitled to their own opinion. Perhaps when they grow older, they will see things a bit differently"

You are older and you still don't see anything different from the left wing extremist thought you espouse here.

Whats your excuse?

I've always admired Boyington, a great pilot who served with distinction under very rough circumstances.

That being said, these kids are entitled to their own opinion. Perhaps when they are older they will see things a bit differently.

Maybe the students should think about honoring Ghandi. Can't think of anyone more worthy...

What more would you expect from a bunch of spoiled, leftist, know it all, college kids. Yes, KIDS. that what they are and as everyone knows,

"You can always tell a kid, but you can't tell him much".

I can say one thing for sure, Don't ever expect these selfish, egotistacal self centered kids to defend this country. They are to chicken and cowardly to do that.

But, do expect them to take, take, take, from everyone else.

Anderson, until you sit behind an R-2800, 2000 Hp engine in an F4U Corsair and had someone shooting at you in combat, don't knock the guys that did it, including Boyington who prooved his expertise by downing 28 enemy aircraft.

True, Wayne, but "soldier" was so rhetorically compact. A Marine in the air is a difficult creature to classify. Took a look at the article, and boy are those some cocky little brats at UW. Not terribly surprised, since my ex-girlfriend married a guy in the administration there. (Have any of those kids read Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon & failed to recognize their sort are being satirized in it? I wonder.)

The inmates are running the asylum.

Not surprising that all this comes from Huskies. The Univ. of Oregon Ducks will do their part by kicking the UW Huskies a** in the fall when we play them in football.
