Badassery

[Millard]

Jack Churchill is now my hero.

[Riku3220]

[hide=]Maj. Klein, who volunteered to lead his Golani Brigade Battalion 51 into battle, was killed in the line of duty on July 26, 2006, during the Second Lebanon War.

 

 

 

While fighting in the hostile village of Bint Jbil in southern Lebanon, Klein and his men were ambushed by Hizbullah terrorists. Maj. Klein led a group of soldiers and tried to attack the terrorists from behind, but they were stopped by a wall. Klein then began treating one of the wounded, at which point a terrorist hurled a grenade at the group. Soldiers who survived the battle - eight did not - reported that Ro'i jumped upon the grenade, absorbing the brunt of the explosion and saving the men around him. Though mortally wounded, Klein tried to continue to communicate by radio to his superiors.[/hide]

 

Does this count?

 

No, he died.

Read his World War 2 accomplishments. And then he became a country music star. And he's Texan.

That Finnish Sniper still beats him.

 

 

 

Honestly, I don't see how he is that badass, he let his emotions take over at one point it seems, and he used a tank's machine gun to slow the advance of the Germans. Seems like a film to be honest.

It inspired several films, actually.

 

 

 

Did you not actually read the entire dossier? He was a one man army. Not to mention getting shot in the leg and somehow managing to grow two inches.

[Lenticular_J]

Plus he was defending others' nations.

 

 

 

With malaria.

 

 

 

That he got from their nations.

[Orpheus]

And he was 16 when he joined the Army.

"Alvin Cullum York (December 13, 1887 September 2, 1964) was a United States soldier, famous as a World War I hero. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for leading an attack on a German machine gun nest, taking 32 machine guns, killing 28 German soldiers and capturing 132 others. This action took place during the U.S.-led portion of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in France, which was part of a broader Allied offensive masterminded by Marshall Ferdinand Foch to breach the Hindenburg line and ultimately force the opposing German forces to capitulate."-quoted from Wikipedia, the mystical fountain of all human knowledge.

 

 

 

Anyway, this guy is badass. He was a PACIFIST and he still went to world war one, and with only seven men CAPTURED 132 German soldiers, and killed 28 more, along with taking out 32 machine guns, all in one battle. I think Hayha beats him, but Alvin York deserves to be on the badass list.

[i_love_burritos]

Yeah, Jack Churchill is one crazy son of a [bleep] :P

 

Going into war with bagpipes :D

 

 

 

That alone makes him badass.

 

 

 

Those other two were perfectly viable means of combat, though outdated.

 

 

 

A bow is quieter than a gun remember.

 

 

 

Just because you're Scottish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

:lol:

 

 

 

Barihawk, I looked up that Stanislav Petrov. Damn badass. Bad. [wagon].

Isn't just being Scottish a factor of Badassery?

 

 

 

Though really, if anyone went into battle with any instrument, that'd be badass.

[Joes_So_Cool]

So was I, not because you're the creator, just the fact that it was this topic in general. After the Sniper was posted, it slowed down though.

[Evaluate]

I disagree. Flute =/= badass

[Kiriyama]

Damn, you got me there.

 

 

 

Well, most instruments.

 

 

 

I want to see a guy take an electric guitar, amp and a portable generator. That'd be badass.

[Evaluate]

 

 

 

Close enough?

[Kiriyama]

As long as you can play it while shooting, its badass.

 

 

 

(Though thats one badass guitar).

[hide=Chuko]Chuko "Sleeping Dragon" Liang was a brilliant Chinese strategist and possessor of one of the top 10 awesomest nicknames in history. A chancellor of Shu Han during the third century, his cunning is widely so celebrated that in China his name is synonymous with intelligence and tactics, which is way better than General Tso, who only wound up with a Chinese restaurant dish named after him.

 

 

 

Chuko was a master of the mind[bleep]. But he was still capable of making mistakes and it was his greatest miscalculation that required him to draw upon his greatest of mind[bleep] powers.

 

 

 

According to historians, during the War of the Three Kingdoms, accompanied by a consort of just 100 soldiers and the rest of his army miles away, Chuko saw an opposing army with over 100,000 men marching towards him. The opposing general, Sima Yi, was a veteran who had fought Chuko in multiple battles. Familiar with the Sleeping Dragon's clever ways and, deciding to take no chances, he led the massive army to capture Chuko.

 

 

 

Ordering his few men into hiding, Chuko commanded that the town gates be left wide open and, positioning himself atop the city wall, he proceeded to play the lute as the massive enemy army approached. Upon his arrival at the town gates, Sima Yi, who had fallen victim to many a Chuko-led ambush, halted his army and studied Chuko's calm manner as he ripped a solo on the chords.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Convinced it was a trap he could not yet comprehend, Sima commanded a hasty retreat, more than a 100,000 soldiers pulling back from one man and his musical instrument. Chuko thus earned an entire wing in the [cabbage]ter's Hall of Fame.[/hide]

[Mr_Adam]

My uncle was in a gas station or something, to go to the bathroom.

 

 

 

He's at the toilet, and a fly flies over the bowl, under him.

 

 

 

He looks at the fly, aims a bit...

 

 

 

...and shoots it out of the air with his urine.

 

 

 

Most awesome thing I can think of. He went on to run out into the gas station to tell everybody, and a bunch of guys apparently went to confirm.

very awesome, not sure I would consider that badassery though. I think I would like to see this more then any of the other stories in the thread if I had the chance.

okay not at all badass but nonetheless the greatest male achievement within a gas station bathroom of history.

The man held off an army of 100,000 men by simply standing there and being him. Nobody else could have done that; there literally was no other man alive at that time who could have possibly done the same thing. That is totally badass.

Hmm not bad but I donno if he beats the sniper.

[EdgedThesis]

The sniper had to shoot a rifle to kill the bodies of 700 men.

 

 

 

Liang played a lute to kill the spirits of 100,000.

^^The Tienanmen Square protester is one of the bravest people ever. It really is a great symbolic gesture that most likely cost the man his life but inspired millions upon millions of people around the world.

A pacifist who kills people isn't badass, it makes him a hypocrite. He went against his principles - not very badass. Suffering for your beliefs impresses me more.
