Lynn D. “Buck” Compton, an Army paratrooper whose World War II service was portrayed in the book and HBO miniseries “Band of Brothers” and who later as a prosecutor secured a conviction of Robert F. Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan, died Feb. 26 at his home in Burlington, Wash. He was 90.

He was later a part of the infamous "Hat Squad" in the LAPD, the inspiration for most of the characters in "L.A. Confidential." One of my friends was medically retired from the LAPD during the Watts riots and he was a close friend of Compton and many of the other men in the hat squad. My only reference for his character is based upon the portrayal of his war exploits from the mini series but from all other accounts, he seems like a great guy.




RIP Buck Compton, we hardly knew ye.

Shifty

Greatest Generation my ass, whoever erased my last post is a scum bag

^^ This man battled the Nazis. It is because of this man and his colleagues that you are free to sit in front of your second hand pc with your pants around your ankles in your modular home and type out your angry, silly, deluded, fuckhead bullshit. Night after night.

That's all you're good for.

These men, these heroes you insult, most of whom have ******, if they could, they would, still, to this very day - fight to defend your stupid, lowball, angry, misguided, lowlife, disrespectful ass.

Fuck you.

RIP Buck Compton. That guy had one hell of a life, glad he made it to 90.

If there is a Heaven, he's probably now thinking "I jumped into Germany, fought in the Bulge, and now I'm stuck waiting around with one of The Monkeys and some blogger guy. . . Guarnere is probably behind this. . ."

:angels:

^I guess it's like troll catnip. He can't resist making an ass of himself when there's a truly heroic figure who can't defend himself against his (Butt Gas's) arsenal of stupidity.
