Such a magical time in your late formative years:

“According to World Net Daily, the (University of Washington) student body recently rejected a proposed memorial for WWII flying ace (and Washington alumnus), Lt Col Gregory “Pappy” Boyington.

Boyington, who attended the university from 1930-1934, gained fame as a Marine Corps fighter pilot during the Second World War. After a stint with the famed American Volunteer Group (the famed “Flying Tigers”) in China, Boyington commanded Marine Fighter Squadron, the legendary “Black Sheep.” Lt Col Boyington shot down 26 Japanese aircraft in aerial combat over the South Pacific, making him the leading Marine ace of the war. Shot down on a combat mission, he spent 20 months as a Japanese POW before being liberated in 1945. For his heroism, Boyington received the Navy Cross and the Congressional Medal of Honor.

According to minutes of the meeting, student senator Jill Edwards said she didn’t believe a member of the Marine Corps was an example of the sort of person UW wanted to produce.” Another senator, Ashley Miller, said the school already had many monuments that honor “rich white men.”

I don’t really no what to say here that would rise above the level of cursing, so I’ll just stop now.
