Well, you could propose a statue of Mao or Lenin just to see how they like that, likely better I expect

I had a relevant issue in my class yesterday.

I got you had a "talk" with the snot nose and set him straight.

Reminds me of the time my wife, then an adult college student, was lectured by a Japan-American teen ager in class about the butchering of Native Americans by Europeans. She should apologize.

Calmly, she asked him then to apologize for Pearl Harbor. The punk walked out of class, upset.

No doubt they are aspiring politicians.

My God. I recently read a book about Philippines POW camps. I hope Omori was even half more civilized. So many brave and strong men were brutalized by the japs in these camps.

My father had many scars from the brutallity. Many POW's were skinned alive or gutted alive. I've had WWII vets share with me the unbelievably gruesome, at times, hard to listen to, treatment of the POW's by the Japanese. Many were decapitated. God bless them all.

I went out with a woman whose father was on Baatan. Said he was glad he never had any sons. I was in Chelsea Naval at the time, It took me years to realize I was insulted, or he didn't realize he had no class.

I don't think you could ever accurately portray the accomplishments of our "Greatest Generation" with a college memorial, nor can you tarnish their story by denying them one. This was a generation whose actions spoke so loudly for them that the echoes will be heard for generations. UW's actions will speak for them as well.

Notice how I referred to your dad's captors? Can you tell I grew up in the early 50's? Some habits and grudges don't fade.

Indeed, God Bless them all.

I'm a college student but even academic institutions here in Liberal South Florida rarely gets THIS HIGH on the MARXISM/ANTI-WAR Kool-Aide.

Then again, it's only a matter of time and more Anti-American Liberal teachers/boardmembers.

As did I. I just thought I'd be politically correct. Not that I should have been.

Meanwhile Robert Byrd gets practically an entire state named after him, and Ted Kennedy's mother has an entire stretch of new soon to be built million dollar roadside park named after her.

Oh yes.
