It’s interesting how this former POW, recipient of the Medal of Honor and, indeed, America’s most decorated living veteran, has figured in recent presidential elections. He helped torpedo John "Seared In My Memory" Kerry in ’04, and that’s the only item the weasels at CNN cared about in their recent slur of him. But there is another, far more interesting side:
"Years later, Air Force surgeons examined Mr. Day and complimented the [broken arm] treatment he’d gotten from his [North Vietnamese] captors. Mr. Day corrected them. It was ‘Dr.’ McCain who deserved the credit. Mr. Day went on to fly again."
Read the rest. Mac and Day, a postwar champion of Vietnam veterans, were cellmates at the Hanoi Hilton, and you can be sure that we’ll be hearing a lot more from Day as Mac’s presidential campaign progresses. Here’s the inside story of how he helped get Kerry. Better watch out, Baby Barry.
