RIP.

Great American hero, just don't expect those idiots at the University of Washington or any other left wing liberal to honor him.

I remember the movie, and the books. He was a great writer. An inspiration to a lot of people.
I don't know more about him, after WWII. Does anyone else?

A Great man. Godspeed General - you were a class act!

Just a little. He had something like 25 confirmed kills, had a number of commands, logged 1000 hours in one year in F-84's, and in 1980 walked the entire length of China's Great Wall.

Wonder if he ever put his hand on the gear handle 15 miles out with God in the right seat?

Yea...he's right. People who are more to the left in this country always celebrate when people die. No compassion. They might even have a parade. After the service at the local satanic church right??

!?!?!?

Morons........your bus is leaving.

Yeeeeeah.... okay then.

Not to diminish what an amazing guy he was, but at some point did it dawn on you he and/or his comrades probably celebrated those kills in one way or another? Not to mention the guys on the other side, toasting their mugs to each victory over Allied forces?

Just my two...

I was talking about his feeling that Dems/Left wouldn't care that he died. Not Scott himself.

I didn't say Democrats, I said that the University of Washington and the Left Wing Liberals would not honor this great American Hero. The left wing Waco's at the U of W have already proven this by refusing to allow a memorial to be erected on the U of A campus honoring Greg "Pappy" Boyington. Furthermore, there has been a history of the far left refusing to honor war heroes in the past.

Excuse me while run to catch my bus.

I'm quite willing to bet just about any war hero would not want to be honored by the far left.

The fact is that the democrats who rule Washington, tried desperately for several years to stop the Blue Angels from performing at our biggest event here. They tried every whiny, stupid little excuse they could find: to noisy, not safe for viewers, not safe for people living in the state, not safe for the pilots to fly over water,etc.. What they were really about was trying to say that it was not safe for tomorrow's generations to admire warriors. Not safe for our children to know and admire warriors. After all maybe they (the local democrats) are organizing a "better" management system than democracy--a plan that does not require warriors.

With regard to the Blue Angels flying: it took a huge effort by those of us who disagreed. Finally, the silent community--the people--made their wish known to these fools.

Amazing how a post about the death of a great American aviator can so quickly devolve into a post of petty party bickering. Actually by the second post.

Now that you have so graciously informed us about the "liberal's in Washington" trying to put the kabosh on the Blue Angel's air show in your town, why don't you tell us how much of a boon to aviation the Republicans have been. Maybe you could start with Ronald Regan's de-regulation of the airlines and handling of PATCO and finish with a summary of the ADIZ zones and regulations and how they are making our skies safer.

Its kind of sad that you would an individual's death to push your political agenda. Its kind of sad really.

The last post was for trauma and hs125 and the other idiots who push their political agenda on a man's death.

 

[pookie]

If U of Washington does not want to honor him so be it. I know many others who should be honored but you dont see me pushing my agenda on a university. I wonder if Dr King is honored there cuz i am sure he deserves it more than some fighter pilot.

 

[F16TJ]

I was fortunate enough to have met the General back in the summer of '01. At the time, he was still working at the Air Museum on Robins AFB. He had an office upstairs. Got to sit with him, one on one, for about an hour. Wow, the guy was truely amazing. He really loved flying and those who fly. He had me rolling with some of his stories from WWII. The man was a true warrior. May he rest in peace and Godspeed.

I wasn't pushing any political agenda. I made a simple statement and observation, nothing more. If you don't like oh well!

Dr. King probably does deserve and I wont argue that with you. But please explain how someone who put their life on the line so you can spout Bull Sh!t like this doesn't!

But it's OK for the students that don't think that we should honor a WWII hero to push their agenda on the University to prevent a memorial from being erected?

 

[Van Hooydonk]

OK HS125, I'm a little confused?

Why would the "left wing Waco's at the U of W" refuse "to allow a memorial to be erected on the U of A campus." More important why would the U of A [wherever that school may be...Alabama, Arkansas, Alaska, Arizona] let another school, the University of Washington, dictate what monuments they could errect?

Maybe while you are enlightening the readers of this fine board on these non-aeronautical topics, you could address a matter more germane to an aviation website, and tell us what a "left wing Waco" is? More particularly, how does this model differ from the other model Wacos? Is there also a right wing Waco?

And what of this history you speak of about the far left refusing to honor war heros of the past? Maybe you could provide some information to establish the veracity of your claim? Or is this just a generalization you arrived at yourself after hearing about the Boyington memorial and the U of A or W or wherever?

I mentioned the attempt to stop the Blue Angels from flying in WA as a reminder of the intensity, the tightly organized, determined effort that exists in WA state to force all Americans to adapt to a very liberal philosophy; to eliminate individualism, in short to reduce all to an equal level at the lowest level-- just like in China, or India.

With regard to Dr. King. During special holidays--some Christian--his face appears on the sides of buses all over town. The message is this:
Dr. King and Jesus Christ are equals, one and the same. Think about that! Even if you are an atheist you will understand that this message is just one more effort to eliminate the system of values and ethics upon which this country was built, by eliminating the religious traditions from which those values were derived. It's interesting though--they never show MLK as an equal to Moses? I believe that Dr. King would have been horrified to see these bus ads.

With regard to the life of service that this great aviator lived--I am grateful, very grateful.

It's the president's fault, blame George Bush! Death greatly affects interstate commerce, it greatly affects import/export and furthermore, it affects national security! Which means that not only does the federal government have the authority to regulate and pass legislation against death, they have the authority to tax it under Article 1, Section 8.

Death also denies persons their Constitutional rights of free speech, the right to bear arms, the right to public assembly and at the very least, it violates the 13th amendment barring involuntary servitude.

I think it's time we ask our Congressmen and Women to initiate an O.I.C. investigation as to why the president has failed to act in this matter.
