Nicely done. A folllow-up kick in the @ss would also have been appropriate.

Some people have watched 'Capricorn One' just one too many times I would venture to say .

As you implied, this is actually from awhile back, but I hadn't seen the video itself. Thanks.

He really didn't swing hard enough - but it's a pretty good lick for a man his age. Well done, Colonel.

We need a few more guys like Buzz around. You call an honest man a liar and a coward you should expect a beat down and be prepared to handle yourself if you feel obliged throw that kind of cr@p out there. If a few more of these morons got their faces smashed we'd have less of the loud mouth losers to deal with.

That goes for the chem trailer wackos and the UFO wackos too.

I'll bet that fat, blow hard, loser went crying right to his lawyer like all cowardly little loud mouths do.

Just had to add this- I couldn't remember whether Buzz was a Marine or AF pilot...
Aldrin graduated third in his class at West Point in 1951 with a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering. He was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force and served as a jet fighter pilot during the Korean War. He flew 66 combat missions in F-86 Sabres and shot down two Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 aircraft. The June 8, 1953 issue of LIFE magazine featured gun camera photos taken by Aldrin of one of the Russian pilots ejecting from his damaged aircraft.[10]

After the war, Aldrin was assigned as an aerial gunnery instructor at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, and next was an aide to the dean of faculty at the U.S. Air Force Academy (which had recently begun operations in 1955). He flew F-100 Super Sabres as a flight commander at Bitburg Air Base, Germany in the 22nd Fighter Squadron. Aldrin then earned his Doctor of Science in astronautics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His graduate thesis was Line-of-sight guidance techniques for manned orbital rendezvous. On completion of his doctorate, he was assigned to the Gemini Target Office of the Air Force Space Systems Division in Los Angeles before his selection as an astronaut.
