#2 They quote Bud Day, holy shit, he's the man. Anyone want to read about a real hard core warrior, read about Day.

#3 Jarhead -
COL Day was here at Shaw AFB on Oct 1st - it was a sight to see the guys who flew missions during OIF come to absolute ramrod attention when COL Day would speak to them.

#4 Bud Day on board means their sh*t is cooked - that guy is an honest-to-God hero. I've met him and shook his hand. An awesome warrior.

The Kerry campaign will have jack sh*t to say about Bud Day's criticisms. But watch the looney left attack him anyway - they have no respect for the military and for his heroism and service; they have no clue how important our history is to us, no clue as to how respect, man to man, really works.

#5 But watch the looney left attack him anyway...

They will and it sickens me. True life experiences mean next to nothing in many circles nowadays. It's really tragic people go to the lengths they do to attack good people. It appears to be done out of fear, jealousy, and insecurity. Losers.

#6 Losers, yes. But its not because of fear, jealousy and insecurity. They just don't care. Warrior honor and achievement are the stuff of fairytales to them, like witches and elves.

If anything, they see a man like the Colonel and wonder why he hasn't just evaporated, like the Neanderthal. Which only proves their stupidity, but that's another argument altogether. Fortunately, we're outbreeding them, and soon enough there will be so few that their opinions won't matter.

#7 I saw day years ago at Andrews - ever see several 4-star generals come to attention and salute a Colonel?

#8 With Bud Day on the attack, I wonder if any of the other Misty's will speak out. Some pretty illustrious company there if my memory serves me, including Dick Rutan, right?

#10 Mojo

AFAIK it is mandatory to salute someone who has been awarded the MOH even when you outrank him and Bud Day has it.

#11 the facts are simple. kerry recieved one shrapnel wound when he fired an M203 grenade launcher into a tree 10 yards away. WHAT AN IDIOT. and another minor shrapnel wound when he stupidly tossed a fragmentation grenade into a basket of rice while inspecting a fishing boat.
We cannot let this guy take the the presidency!

#12 I'm honored to say that I have met Colonel Day several times. A real gentleman. I strongly recommend his book 'Return With Honor', (ASIN: 0912173165). Quoting a reviewer at Amazon.com:

"Bud Day, a man exemplifying what America should be., March 23, 1999
Reviewer: robert.bowers@ae.ge.com (Cincinnati, Ohio) - I bought and read this book after hearing Col. Day speak at the U.S. Air Force Museum. I knew he could only highlight his POW experience in the hour and a half he had to speak. This book is a true testimony of the faith and courage it takes to resist torture, terror, starvation and captivity while maintaining one's dignity and honor under the worst circumstances imaginable. One cannot read this book without feeling immense pride in America's fighting men."

#13 "To defend Kerry, the campaign is running ads with military figures praising Kerry and his war service, Wade said."

VC aka "Charlie" don't count!!

#14 I have a brother who works at Wright-Pat AFB, when I was just in middle school he turned me on to the Col Day story. I was immensley in awe of his service as you can well imagine. Some kids grew up idolizing sports heros etc, I had a picture of Audie Murphy's head stone from Arlington on my dresser at age 13 - to me, these MOH, PH, DSC/NCross, S.Star recipients are the ones I always wanted to meet.

#15 I guess its a good thing you went into the Marines then, Jarhead. It would've been so sad if you had instead become a major league baseball player ;-P
