Washingtons Dulles Airport Is Named After a Warmonger



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.

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.

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

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