Then you should get along fine.

Now they don't even plant a weapon on the unarmed victims. Time for the US to hit the 'reset' button.

Charles Boyington... garage worker? Your other link says Charles Boyington was a dentist!

Other than him having features that look similar and him saying "There's some Sioux in there" in one of his last interviews, where is the proof?
Sigh. OK, Eagle. Boyington was 100% Dutch, or whatever you need him to be.

I could care less what he was. All I really care about was that he was a kick azz Marine and an American who shot down many Japanese aircraft. So many that he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor because of it.

And Baa Baa Black Sheep was a foolish 1970's television series and had absolutely ZERO to do about the real VMA-214 Black Sheep Squadron.

He learnt all his histry frum komik bux!

Oh look... the war heeeero.

wherever i sit down my ars
Watched " Saving Private Ryan " this morning. The part where the medic received his mortal wounds and called out for his mom particularly hit a chord with me. Brought to mind my step father Sam who use to show me the Purple Heart medal that he kept in the cedar chest as a memorial to his dad Sam Sr. who was shot down from the skys over Belgium in WW2. When Sam breathed his final breaths as he sucummed to brain cancer his final word was " mama".

For not caring, you sure as heck kicked up quite a ruckus when I suggested he was maybe not quite as lily-white as Robert Conrad portrayed him.

Sorry. Didn't mean to insult your racial pride.

MY racial pride? Give me a break T-Bones! You're the one making the unsubstantiated claim that Pappy was Sioux! You're POed because you got called on it. Your links were garbage.

And you're the one who said Pappy called himself Lakota. Which apparently ain't good enough for you.

Did I say anything disrespectful about Pappy, or about the Corps? No I did not. Can't even figure why you're getting all triggered.

That's right.... Democrat Sen. Liz Warren has made that claim too which is total BS.
