The official U.S. Army citation for Audie Murphy's Medal of Honor reads:
Rank and organization: Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, Company B 15th Infantry, 3rd Infantry Division.
Place and date: Near Holtzwihr France, January 26, 1945.
Entered service at: Dallas, Texas. Birth: Hunt County, near Kingston, Texas, G.O. No. 65, August 9, 1944.
Citation: Second Lt. Murphy commanded Company B, which was attacked by six tanks and waves of infantry. 2d Lt. Murphy ordered his men to withdraw to a prepared position in a woods, while he remained forward at his command post and continued to give fire directions to the artillery by telephone. Behind him, to his right, one of our tank destroyers received a direct hit and began to burn. Its crew withdrew to the woods. 2d Lt. Murphy continued to direct artillery fire, which killed large numbers of the advancing enemy infantry. With the enemy tanks abreast of his position, 2d Lt. Murphy climbed on the burning tank destroyer, which was in danger of blowing up at any moment, and employed its .50 caliber machine gun against the enemy. He was alone and exposed to German fire from three sides, but his deadly fire killed dozens of Germans and caused their infantry attack to waver. The enemy tanks, losing infantry support, began to fall back. For an hour the Germans tried every available weapon to eliminate 2d Lt. Murphy, but he continued to hold his position and wiped out a squad that was trying to creep up unnoticed on his right flank. Germans reached as close as 10 yards, only to be mowed down by his fire. He received a leg wound, but ignored it and continued his single-handed fight until his ammunition was exhausted. He then made his way back to his company, refused medical attention, and organized the company in a counterattack, which forced the Germans to withdraw. His directing of artillery fire wiped out many of the enemy; he killed or wounded about 50. 2d Lt. Murphy's indomitable courage and his refusal to give an inch of ground saved his company from possible encirclement and destruction, and enabled it to hold the woods which had been the enemy's objective.
Considered by most historians as the greatest and most powerful warrior of China, rivaling Achilles in skill.
Wields a giant spear known as the "Sky Scorcher".
Famous for stalemating the Three Sworn Brothers (Guan Yu, Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei, all of whom are prominent warriors in China) in a battle for a prolonged period of time.
This dude is a monster, and will literally rip apart anyone who stands in his way.
Honda Tadakatsu
One of the greatest generals in the Sengoku period, who remained loyal to Tokugawa Ieyasu.
He is often called "The Warrior Who Surpassed Death Itself", wielding the legendary "Tonbo-Giri" and dons "The Great Platinum Armor".
A tactical genius with unparalleled might in the battlefield, he NEVER lost a battle. And we are talking about an era where muskets were already invented.
Saitō Musashibō Benkei
A warrior monk who served Minamoto No Yoshitsune.
Said to have in Gojo Bridge, where he slew everyone who passed by that bridge, eventually collectin 999 swords.
On his 1000th, he was eventually defeated by Minamoto no Yoshitsune. Because of this he served the young lord all throughout his life.
He died standing up, with hundreds of arrows pierced through him, defending the castle where Yoshitsune committed "seppuku" (suicide by stabbing)
^
Without his fancy guns, he has no chance whatsoever.
These guys have overwhelming strength and skill that would make Jack Churchill and Bruce Lee shit in their pants.
Lu Bu is about as good as Achilles H2H. McClane is nowhere near as good as even Bruce Lee. Tadakatsu cuts him in half with his Tonbo-Giri. He can try put a beating on Benkei, even kick his nutsack for all I care. Benkei won't feel a thing, and will proceed pounding him to death.
You're post is purely composed of irony. A kind of irony you've generated but cannot notice yourself. Oh, that must hurt. To be so blindly pathetic must STING TERRIBLY!

"Myth" is correct, considering the penchant for Asian literature to boost, it's very likely possible these cats weren't wading in battle and slaying 20 men per sword swipe.
Hahaha, PC is for pussies.
