April 6, 2007. Anbar, Iraq.
Mike Day, Navy SEAL, enters a room measuring about 3×3 meters first. Inside, four Al Qaeda terrorists, armed, are waiting for him.
They shoot him at point-blank range. His rifle falls. He drops to the ground.
27 hits: 16 bullets in the body—legs, arms, abdomen, glutes, scrotum—and 11 in the vest. A grenade explodes at his feet and leaves him unconscious amid dust and shrapnel.
He opens his eyes.
Switches to the pistol. Kills all four, one by one. Clears the house. Walks alone to the evacuation helicopter: he fears more than anything that they'll have to carry him.
He didn't realize how badly he was hurt until he saw the looks on his teammates' faces.
"Wherever you put a finger, except on my head, that's where they got me."
16 bullets in flesh. 11 in the vest. One grenade. Four enemies dead. A man who refused to stay down.
This isn't a movie. It's what Senior Chief Mike Day did.

Hell of a man!

Do not get in a fight with this man.

[PGalt]

WOW! America’s finest BUMP!

[Mathews]

He didn’t die that day in 2007, but the war got him on March 27th, 2023, anyway... Hooyah Senior Chief!

? Why the 2026 date beneath his photo?

[Mathews]

I don’t know.

[Jamestown1630]

That is probably the post date on X.

He killed himself, reportedly suffering PTSD.

“Why the 2026 date beneath his photo?”

Many times, the date of the publishing of something, article or photo, is dated when it is displayed. Mathews is right.

Oh, how awful. But I am one who does not think that all suicides are unpardonable. Some people are in such horrible pain, be it emotional or physical, that they just cannot go on. The LORD have mercy on him!

[Jamestown1630]

I agree with you.

The stats on veteran suicide are terrible - one site I saw indicates that an average of 17 U.S. vets kill themselves each day.

[Sacajaweau]

It’s the date of the article...it occurs twice

[Big Red Badger]

48 yrs old when MIKE DAY passed...
RIP Warrior.

I stopped reading at scrotum...

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

A true hero. Hopefully, the families of the men he killed are still suffering. They deserve what they got for killing so many innocent people without cause.

[Vaduz]

A man who refused to stay down.

Clouds part for a peak.

[Mimi.M]

He later died by suicide at the age of 51, after spending his postwar life assisting other wounded warriors. IOW, he died of a war-wound, but it took many years to get to him. RIP, Mike Day.
