Washingtons Dulles Airport Is Named After a Warmonger

[rsmith6621]

John Foster Dulles is the single person who got the USA involved and basically committed to Vietnam.

And we name an International Airport after him. We really have great values in America.

This was my history lesson for today. I will never fly in to that airport again.

1. "Raygun National" appears to be your next best bet n/t

2. So you're saying you're not going to fly to Dulles OR Reagan either?

By that same application you would not fly to National Airport as it was renamed to Reagan(spit) Airport.

By your deduction, you would have to fly to Thurgood Marshall - Baltimore-Washington International Airport just to get to DC.

3. You won't use an airport because of the name? Are you kidding?

I'd fly into Kissinger Field Int'l if it is convenient.

4. Most things in this country are named after one asshole or another.

7. That's nothin', I won't step foot into Columbus Ohio

And don't even get me started about Bush's Baked Beans!

Damn I love board cred threads. *how many points is that?*

8. "The airport was dedicated by President John F. Kennedy on November 17, 1962."

It takes a real reach to blame the entire war on Dulles. I always take Dulles over Reagan.

9. Washington (the city) is named after a dude who owned hundreds of slaves.

So of course I never go there.
