5 Real Life Soldiers Who Make Rambo Look Like a Pussy
These are seriously awesome.
My favourites are the White Death hax sniper guy and the GAR guy who went into battle with a sword. And not any sword, a fucking claymore.

Since everyone they had was either too dead or too scared to go anywhere near him, the Russians just carpet-bombed everywhere they thought he might be. Supposedly, they had the location right, and he actually got hit by a cloud of shrapnel that tore his coat up, but didn't actually hurt him, because he's the fucking White Death, damn it.
WHAT A FUCKING BADASS
A little shrapnel tore his coat? Jesus fucking christ.
"After walking 150 miles with only a rusty can of onions for food"...
That's damn manly.

An allied commander in WWII, and an avid fan of surfing, Captain Jack Malcolm Thorpe Fleming Churchill aka "Fighting Jack Churchill" aka "Mad Jack" was basically the craziest motherfucker in the whole damn war.
He volunteered for commando duty, not actually knowing what it entailed, but knowing that it sounded dangerous, and therefore fun. He is best known for saying that "any officer who goes into action without his sword is improperly dressed" and, in following with this, for carrying a sword into battle. In WWII. And not one of those sissy ceremonial things the Marines have. No, Jack carried a fucking claymore. And he used it, too. He is credited with capturing a total of 42 Germans and a mortar squad in the middle of the night, using only his sword.

Churchill and his team were tasked with capturing a German fortification creatively called "Point 622." Churchill took the lead, charging ahead of the group into the dark through the barbed wire and mines, pitching grenades as he went. Although his unit did their best to catch up, all but six of them were lost to silly things like death. Of those six, half were wounded and all any of them had left were pistols. Then a mortar shell swung in and killed/mortally wounded everyone who wasn't Jack Churchill.
When the Germans found him, he was playing "Will Ye No Come Back Again?" on his bagpipes. Oh, we didn't mention that? He carried them right next to his big fucking sword.
After being sent to a concentration camp, he got bored and left. Just walked out. They caught him again, and sent him to a new camp. So he left again. After walking 150 miles with only a rusty can of onions for food, he was picked up by the Americans and sent back to Britain, where he demanded to be sent back into the field, only to find out (with great disappointment) the war had ended while he was on his way there. As he later said to his friends, "If it wasn't for those damn Yanks, we could have kept the war going another 10 years!"
THIS IS ALL I EVER ASPIRE TO BE IN LIFE
They should make these guys into a movie or an anime or something.
They were all cool. The white death was crazy. So was the guy solo'ing German and tanks while he was on a tank that was bound to explode.
Surprised none of them died. One gets shot in the face, another takes 10+ bullets, and the other walks out of a heavily guarded concentration camp like "lol"

And this, my friend, is why they are so legendary.
Think about it though, in the 50 million combatants in WW2 you're going to get legendary heroes like these who are literally one in 10 million or something

I saw his movie which Harley recommended me. 200 confirmed kills, with a possibility of 500+ total. His kill count could have been higher, but he didn't bother with anyone no lower than sergeant

Because these are just a few examples of people that did extraordinary things. If they named everyone, we would never get through it.
