I can see this guy going into Cracked.com's second edition of "Real life soldiers who make Rambo look like a pussy" (if they ever do make one).
This guy seriously carves a new rune into the tablet of ultimate badassery.

The part that really shows how much of a badass that Gurkha is, is when they talk about him running out of ammo, taking the MG off its tripod, and then using the *^%^ing tripod to take out one of the attackers.

Old world toughness and new world training. You just don't mess with those guys.

Dabbling in necromancy to bring this one back, but being a student of the sword and a history nerd, this man stands out to me. Lt. Colonel John Malcolm Thorpe Fleming "Jack" ChurchillThis is a man who in WWII went into battle wearing a kilt and wielded a longbow and a basket-hilted claymore similar to this one.This guy definitely deserves a spot on the "badasses of the century" list.

Well he would've gone to the Pacific campaign...they were the only lot in WW2 who still fought using swords.

Gorv, you seem to have missed the part where he killed a Wehrmacht soldier with a longbow. Also, the wiki doesn't go into the details of his service. He actually did use that claymore in battle against the Nazis on several occasions. He was a commando so he'd be able to get close enough to use it.

"If it wasn't for those damn Yanks, we could have kept the war going another 10 years." - That crazy guy with the sword.
