Another way to say it is “Day of Days”, which is a little less goofy.

It’s worse than that. Not only was there D-Day, there was H-Hour.

You guys need to lighten up. There’s no disrespect in today’s column.

Ha ha ha. I always thought it was Doomsday for the day of judgment. I heard that on a documentary sometime in the late 1970s when I was a boy.

decision day, D-Day the day the decision was made to actually launch the invasion.

Any more attempts at humour in a comic strip?? Really? Ok then, bye-bye now.

It’s not dumb, it’s a variable and a unit. It’s no worse than saying “a circle with radius R”.

The reason we in the military use D-day, H-hour and M-minute is because the actual date/time may change, but we still need to schedule things.

What, the puns weren’t bad enough for you? ;-)If you don’t like a comic, drop it… that’s the wonderful thing about free will!

I was of the opinion it meant Departure Day, and was used for any military operation’s starting day. The phrase was just picked up by the media & they made a catch-phrase out of it, sound familiar?

Exactly!

Well said, Sir.If anything, this strip is educational!

The original phrase was it was the “Day of Destiny” but they changed it to “Destiny Day” although anyone who was THERE refered to it as, “Death Day”
