Badass.

Read a book about him...Inventively entitled "The Sniper"

Was good.

He's still a gayfagknobjockeybummerbentshot compared to this guy though.

And while this next guy may not have killed as many people as the 2 above....He's also as bad ass as they come. Read his citation for the VC...It's unbelievable.

Meh, how hard is it to sit in a fortified position and unload a machine-gun at an enemy who's running towards you in waves like retards?

Now that Nepalese ****, that's a warrior.

What's so special about these guys? I can do this in Call of Duty easily.

I'll put this here.... Pretty much sums it up. Hahya and Mad Jack are included http://www.cracked.com/article_17019_5-real-life-soldiers-who-make-rambo-look-like-pussy.html

It's weird. There are a lot of differences between wikipedia's and cracked's telling of Hayha's feats.

I don't think you're a badass just for killing a lot of people, its how you kill them.

Sniping someone isn't nearly as badass as turning one man army like this Nepalese guy.

Oh and another thing, what do you have to do to get the Victoria Cross if this doesn't clinch it?

Is it because he's not British?

Uh no! there's been well over 300 non British VC winners including about 20 Gurkhas one of which I already posted in this thread

Is it because he's not British? To get the Victorian Cross you have to....fight with a claymore and longbow.

Yay. Death and war are so awesome. Go western world.

Yeah cos uuuhhh...That's the source of all wars eh?

I'm also guessing that seeing as a lot of what has being discussed was people who fought against Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan in WW2 that you'd rather the west didn't get involved in those conflicts?

I don't think war is something to be celebrated or approved of.

I'm trying to be a trendy lefty by stereotyping and generalising an entire section of the earth, it's hip.

Kinda.

30 people is a lot...

recognizing the abilities of a soldier, or even respecting them, really isn't the same as saying "war is good"

I see nothing positive about the Olympic games, but I respect that these are the top athletes in the world, and will celebrate epic accomplishments therein.

I suppose, but Olympic accomplishments are different than killing 30 people accomplishments.

I just can't respect something like that.

I don't really think so, but being "hip" is subjective I guess.

in what way? this isn't a serial murderer we are talking about here, this person didn't initiate the war, he is simply good at combat, yet because you don't agree with war, you don't think it is worth pointing out their skill.

this is quite literally the same as me saying michael phelps is an unimpressive swimmer because the Olympics are a thinly veiled excuse for racism and nationalism.

what would you have found more respectable? if the man was a poor soldier? if he refused to fight and endangered his unit? it seems like you are being harsh on an individual for the choices of their state.... which is cool, but would be exactly like me saying michael phelps is a bad swimmer because America sucks.

Inimalist wins this arguement battle. 20 internetz to Inimalist.

the "i" isn't capitalized. inimalist.

but yes, I do have the strength of 20 internetz

I know there's a proper name that breaks that pattern I just can't think of it right now.

Hmmm, what about acronyms?

pfffft, fine, the "i" in inimalist is not capitalized because it is the second letter of the word.

I never said he was a bad soldier, on the contrary, this chap is a fine and proper one at that. Good for him for killing people I guess...?
