This 13 year old who stole his dad’s uniform for a photo shoot is the most decorated man in us history and starred in his own movie that he had to tone back to make believable

These comments are funny because the vast majority of wars in human history were fought by average ordinary joes.
Like, yeah that badass WWII soldier looked dopey because he was probably just some factory worker.
People think soldiers have always been like the navy seals. Tall, buff, and bred for the military since they were small but nope. Most men were just regular people.

Colonel Frost above was on set during “A Bridge Too Far” filming. He told Anthony Hopkins, playing him, to stop dodging around so much, because an officer had to show disdain for the enemy and bullets XD

Killed 16 Germans with an entrenching tool and then ran a grocery store for the rest of his life type shit.
This goober looking dude right here basically rolled a 20 on the One Man Army perk. After coming ashore with the Allies at Anzio, he made his way to the town of Carano where he skillfully German unengineered a series of machine gun nests, uphill, through a minefield. Not only did he drag back the wounded, he made sure eight German soldiers had to find out how the war ended via Ouija board and Strategically Transported seventeen other Enemies to Alternate Locations. When Fritz decided to call takesie-backsies, he decided to disable a German Tiger tank before its own inferior supply lines and mechanical components could, relieved the crew of their right to exist and turned some artillery into scrap with the authority of “and now stay out” kind of attitude.
He would go on to serve in the military during Korea and Vietnam, only to face a different kind of fascism in his twilight years, the fucking HOA. Yes, this is the 90 year old US Army, Medal of Honor awarded veteran whose HOA said he couldn’t have a flagpole for “aesthetic reasons”.
Unfortunately, before he could show them what would really affect the “aesthetic values” of a suburban Virginia neighborhood, the local radio station, news networks, cable news, two senators, Facebook and the American Legion collectively said “nah” in such a way that the HOA got shamed into infamy.

This is why you don’t fuck with people, you never know who’s going to be badass when pushed too far. ( Also don’t fuck with people just because you shouldn’t )

Isn’t this what Boba Fett looked like without the helmet in ROTJ?

Jokes on you. I just wait for Sabaton to sing about said individual.

Friendly reminder that this man is possibly the most terrifying man in the US armed forces.
It plays on the misconception that you got to be a certain appearance when really it’s an everyman that’s awesome

542 confirmed kills.
That’s because it is not about being beautiful. Its to have big balls and get the shits done.
This dude was responsible for the death of 25% of his country btw

Just looks like a random, perfectly normal Russian girl, right? You probably expect her to be a potato farmer or something.
That’s Lyudmila Pavlichenko and she’s one of the deadliest snipers in history. 309 confirmed kills.
Someone needs to go look up what Alvin York looks like. I saw his face for the first time a while ago and was kinda surpsied.
