No, not that one. This guy, whose badassery is stuff of historical legend. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Carton_de_Wiart
Looking at badass stuff you can argue for Mad Jack Churchill. Carried bagpipes, a longbow and broadsword into combat during WWII. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Churchill
lol, for some reason, the image of an accident-prone man who keeps going back to wars comes to mind... <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/k8Ly1_NKTVU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
And on the other side... Enemy at the Gates, which is based on this guy, is one of my favorite war films. Must see.
I thought the point of war was to not get shot or captured? How does doing the exact opposite of that make you a badass?
I raise you Sen. Daniel Inouye Longtime senator from Hawaii and: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Inouye [rquoter]On April 21, 1945, Inouye was grievously wounded while leading an assault on a heavily-defended ridge near San Terenzo in Tuscany, Italy called Colle Musatello. The ridge served as a strongpoint along the strip of German fortifications known as the Gothic Line, which represented the last and most unyielding line of German defensive works in Italy. As he led his platoon in a flanking maneuver, three German machine guns opened fire from covered positions just 40 yards away, pinning his men to the ground. Inouye stood up to attack and was shot in the stomach; ignoring his wound, he proceeded to attack and destroy the first machine gun nest with hand grenades and fire from his Thompson submachine gun. After being informed of the severity of his wound by his platoon sergeant, he refused treatment and rallied his men for an attack on the second machine gun position, which he also successfully destroyed before collapsing from blood loss.[14] Inouye as a first lieutenant in the U.S. Army As his squad distracted the third machine gunner, Inouye crawled toward the final bunker, eventually drawing within 10 yards. As he raised himself up and cocked his arm to throw his last grenade into the fighting position, a German inside the bunker fired a rifle grenade that struck him on the right elbow, severing most of his arm and leaving his own primed grenade reflexively "clenched in a fist that suddenly didn't belong to me anymore".[15] Inouye's horrified soldiers moved to his aid, but he shouted for them to keep back out of fear his severed fist would involuntarily relax and drop the grenade. While the German inside the bunker reloaded his rifle, Inouye pried the live grenade from his useless right hand and transferred it to his left. As the German aimed his rifle to finish him off, Inouye tossed the grenade into the bunker and destroyed it. He stumbled to his feet and continued forward, silencing the last German resistance with a one-handed burst from his Thompson before being wounded in the leg and tumbling unconscious to the bottom of the ridge. When he awoke to see the concerned men of his platoon hovering over him, his only comment before being carried away was to gruffly order them to return to their positions, since, as he pointed out, "nobody called off the war!"[16] The remainder of Inouye's mutilated right arm was later amputated at a field hospital without proper anesthesia, as he had been given too much morphine at an aid station and it was feared any more would lower his blood pressure enough to kill him.[17] Although Inouye had lost his right arm, he remained in the military until 1947 and was honorably discharged with the rank of captain. At the time of his leaving the Army, he was a recipient of the Bronze Star Medal and the Purple Heart. Inouye was initially awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his bravery in this action, with the award later being upgraded to the Medal of Honor by President Bill Clinton (alongside 19 other Nisei servicemen who served in the 442nd Regimental Combat Team and were believed to have been denied proper recognition of their bravery due to their race).[18] His story, along with interviews with him about the war as a whole, were featured prominently in the 2007 Ken Burns documentary The War.19[/rquoter]

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Michael C. Hall&defid=3175399 [rquoter]The world is an interesting place with changes and troubles to say the least. For many, the phenomenon of creation is based on religion and perhaps science for some. This story of creation has little to do with religion or science but has everything to do with an individual who has achieved every aspect of life. Michael C. Hall was the first man to walk on the rings of Saturn and the first actor and actress (because he is neither man or women but an element of the spiritual world) to play in a hit HBO series entitled “Dexter”. The character Dexter is based upon the real life of Michael C. Hall, no aspect of the series is written because camera crews film his life on a day-to-day base. He is renown for his creation of the band Journey and their hit song “Don’t Stop Believing” (which he wrote and composed as he brushed his teeth, always brush your teeth). His morning gristle is always fresh and he does not require a clean shave since his gristle is permanent at its current and ideal length. Michael C. Hall completes his morning exercise routine that consists of a brisk sprint to the Galapagos Islands, followed by a three-legged race to the Canadian Arctic Archipelago of Northern Canada that is situated in the Arctic Ocean on his own. The sweat that accumulates during this morning routine is collected and used to sustain the growth of the worlds Aloe plant supply. Michael C. Hall is the manliest man to walk the Earth and has an IQ of forever. It has been speculated that the cure for polio lies within Michael C. Hall’s blood, but it could never be proven, as it may possibly never be extracted for the reason that his skin is far too rugged for any needle or medical utensil to puncture, although in all likelihood this is indeed a fact. Whenever somebody asks the question “Why?”, Michael C. Hall is the only person on earth who can answer with “because” without being prompted for any further explanation. The Grand Canyon is actually not a canyon at all. After great controversy it was proven to be a gaping hole left by Michael C. Hall after he dug up enough sand to construct The Great Pyramids located in Egypt (which of course he built by hand in between tapings of his hit reality television biography, “Dexter”). “Michael C. Hall” is only Michael C. Hall’s full first name. His full name is “Michael C. Hall That Bad Son of a b****”, but to prevent poop boots (a mess), he recommends you call him by his first name only. Note: The following has been documented with confidence of authenticity. Jon: Did you hear about that movie coming out next week? Shaun: Yeah, the one that has to be projected on a solid sheet of diamond to be viewed. Jon: Man, Michael C. Hall and Samuel L. Jackson are going to be something else. [/rquoter]
Wow, I read the story without noticing who you said it was. I recognized the last name and wondered aloud if that was the Senator from Hawaii. When it got to the arm part, I was like okay this has to be him! I knew he had lost it in the war, but I had no idea about the circumstances regarding the injury. RIP you bad ass mu' f*$@a.
