In the 1970s, Greg Boyington was the subject of an NBC TV series devoted to his legendary exploits in World War II. But sadly, he can't seem to catch a break at his alma mater today: Gregory "Pappy" Boyington became a legend fast. He was dubbed Pappy by the younger pilots of his famed "Black Sheep" fighter squadron because of his "advanced" age. He was, after all, 31, and most of them were in their young 20s.Not to mention city supervisors in large Pacific northwest cities. Update: Not surprisingly, things are even sillier in Canada, as Tim Blair notes: Over in Canada, plans proceed to honour draft dodgers with a creepy hippie statue:Malcolm Muggeridge, call your office!The proposal calls for a sculpture of two Americans, a male and a female, crossing an imaginary border where a Canadian figure is waiting to welcome them.As Clear and Present Danger reports: Theyre so liberal they even felt they had to create a female draft dodger. Update: Michelle Malkin looks at the Pappy Boyington Scholarship Fund at the University of Washington, which aimed at undergraduate students who are either children of Marine Corps vets or Marine vets themselves. Does UW's "Student Senate" approve of this?
