What a stud! Bailed from 300-500 feet, without his chute opening, and lived. The first - and hopefully not the last - of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth to come out against Jack Murtha and this Haditha onslaught.

I've had company for a week and haven't kept up on this story very well, but I'm delighted to see this guy step forward.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!

John Kerry's true allegience.

A great gesture by a great hero, however (my "but-monkey" of the day) at 81, I wonder if the good counselor has the stamina to go up against the full force of the US Military's legal system when and if they go after anyone.

One wonders.

[ketelone]

Wow... this guy is pretty much GI Joe

[patton]

Wow. That is..one heck of a resume!

[W04Man]

thanks for the post. God Bless Bud Day!

Yeah, it's a darned shame to see people waste their potential like that. :-)

I wonder why he didn't become a Naval JAG and hit for the cycle?

[SE Mom]

Agreed- but it depends on a few things. This man doesn't sound like someone who's apt to take on this case if he can't handle it. So- he's either well up to the task and/or will have one hell of a team assembled as co-counsel. Just having his name associated with the defense of these Marines is a boost.

What great news this morning...

[Eagles6]

This is great news! The Marines now have a formidable ally who can easily counter the "unnamed military officials" "and "anonymous defense department officials".

[trooprally]

Thanks for the ping.
Kerry is a piece of scum.I hope he is found guilty of treason some day. Murtha is a washed up has been. Col Day I salute you. [Mrs T]

Leaders lead. and Heroes do what they must do even if it means they will die in the process. I certainly wouldn't want to walk up to him and tell him to go home because he is a feeble old man and not up to the task BUT you go right ahead.

BTTT

BUMP

[daybreakcoming]

Wonders?

You, we, are fortunate to witness the stamina of a real hero. And he's just getting started.

May God bless and keep this dear national treasure, Col Day!

[PurpleMan]

Oh pleeeeeeeease.

This isn't about heroism. This it's about a probable trial of a 20-year old Sailor who is likely to be charged with murder, kidnapping, and conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to commit kidnapping and whether or not the accused would receive the best possible defense.

Since we don't know if COL Day is the begining of a team or not, a question is whether if YOU faced with these capital charges would want to be represented solely by this 81-year old hero attorney against the UCMC -- a system completely different from the civilian criminal system.

Actually, give the chance, I would ask him if he feels up to the challenge.

Take a month or so and fill those Halliburton camps.

Good idea, but once we've put all the Kennedys in those camps, where will we put the rest of the traitors? :P

[cake_crumb]

God bless and keep the man, he is a national treasure. I always have and always will salute him. At least now the "up to 20" accused Marines have a chance for a FAIR TRIAL. Thank God men like Col. Bud Day still walk the earth.
