— DrewM Col. Bud Day is a former POW and a recipient of the Medal of Honor. If you haven't heard of him take a few minutes to look him up. You remember all those "Cool Facts About Chuck Norris" jokes? Well, if you insert Bud Day's name in them, they aren't funny because they don't do justice to how tough and dedicated to the defense of our country the guy is.
John Miller of National Review Online talked to Col. Day and asked him about the story.
So I asked: When was the first time you heard McCain tell this story? His response: "I heard that story in 1970, 1971back in that time frame. Anybody who says it's not true is full of..." Here he used some salty language.
Since this is Ace of Spades and not NRO I'll take a shot at filling in the missing word...shit. He's absolutely right, they are full of shit and blinding adoration for Obama but mostly...well actually my guess is the shit and adoration are equally mixed.
I debated whether this was a post or a headline but I think it's worth a post simply because assholes, like 2nd rate Kos diarist Andrew Sullivan, shouldn't have the loudest megaphones in this dust up.
I look forward to the appologies that are sure to flow from the leftards who were only 'asking questions'.

How long before the left accuses Bud Day of being a commie double agent, wife beater, child molester, and hobo killer?

Bud Day--Actual real live American hero just like John McCain.
In the other corner, excitable Andy, Barack Obama and William Ayers.
Satire is not supposed to write itself.

There is no better illustration of how screwed up the moral judgement of the nation has become than, the fact that the O-gang has any chance in this election and has earned the D nomination.

For fuck's sake, Christians have been scrawling either the cross or the sign of the fish into the dirt to identify one another since ancient Roman times. Yes, I'm sure Sohlzinetsyn's story and McCain's story are both true.
Sullivan's a douche.

And you think it's "shit"? Since when is shit "salty"?
I think he said full of the devil's own spooge dripping out their asses.
See, much more salty, and the sort of thing they aren't going to print at NRO.
Just my guess, but I think I'm pretty close on this one.

You're wildly overestimating the jackass. He's at least 3rd or 4th rate...

The shit is the adoration, Grasshopper. Until you understand this, you will not be able to take the pebble from my... Hey! Give that back!

Not only that, but his wife Cindy was once addicted to prescription drugs. Don't ever leave out this all-important fact.

Officers salute officers of higher rank, in the same manner.
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff salutes the Commander in Chief, President of the United States (even if he's a dirtbag who doesn't know the proper use of a cigar). He holds an office deserving of respect.
When a Medal of Honor winner enters the room, which usually only happens at the man's funeral, the President salutes him.
Medal of Honor winners look up to Bud Day.

Loren Heal,
You aren't kidding about that. I just put up a headline about the passing the Capt. Ed "Too Tall" Freeman and while surfing around reading up on him I came across this...
Freeman was back at the White House a few months later for the premiere of We Were Soldiers, a 2002 feature film that depicted his role in the Ia Drang battle. As he was filing out of the small White House theater, the president approached him, saluted, and shook his hand. “Good job, Too Tall,” he said.
Off topic, it's really sad that the MOH is becoming essentially a posthumous award. Not only are there living individuals from Iraq and Afghanistan who deserve it, the military and the country need these living examples of heroism.

I believe if memory serves that the children of MOH recipients can get an automatic appointment to the service academies . It's one of the few perks of the medal.
One of my dads old Sarn't majors said you usually had to be dead to get it. This from a man with the DSC and seven , yes seven, different wounds in WW11.

I disagree. All the dirt on Obama was either not known or kept from the Democrat rank-and-file until after Super Tuesday. By the time people figured out what he's really about it was too late to reverse course.
This is less a reflection on moral judgement than it is on a stupid primary system that ends the race (for all intents and purposes) while the voters are still in the infatuation stage. There's no doubt in my mind even Democrats would have passed on Obama had they known then what they know now.
What this all really means is the Democrats have again managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

All soldiers are liars unless they throw their medals over the fence at the White House.
