Badarse Thread

[Armistead]

{I used arse instead of ass, because sometimes I'm not sure if we can say ass here, even though I see it used a lot}

Anyway, a thread for those badarses that blow your mind with their bravery, craziness or outright stupidity...

I saw a FB post on this Badarse and thought I would start a thread. I never read about him, probably because he's a Brit.

Not only did he carry it, he often used it to kill Germans. He also carried a longbow and is credited with the only longbow kill of the war...

Feel free to post any badarse stories you know about...

This is a fantastic site, thanks for pointing me towards it!

BTW, your spelling of 'Bad-arse' is the correct British spelling, as opposed to your American 'Bad-ass' which is essentially a naughty donkey.

Possibly in the Bad arse category.

one of those people who are quite fearless and also, at times, quite ruthless, a potential berserker. A truly heroic figure in the Iliadic sense, the sheer force of his personality meant that uneducated Greeks could usually understand him, even though he spoke only a few words of their language. This struck me quite strongly during the hours I was with him. He was tall and blonde and intrepid-looking, but the Nazi occupation of Denmark had made him a bit unbalanced in certain respects. Thus it was that while he and his sergeant were going through the small rooms of the German and Italian barrack-building outside Phira, a couple of nights before, Lassen had orders his companions to wake up the sleeping enemy soldiers before cutting their throats, so that they should know what was happening to them. The sergeant had refused. Nothing was said at the time, but when I met up with the party at the Perissa monastery Lassen was insisting on putting his sergeant on a charge for disobeying orders.

Your Longbow bit brought him to mind as if I recall correctly he used a crossbow at times.

Hey your link has a local girl on it.

Simple rule of thumb: If the language bot lets it go then it's okay to use. If not, then don't use it or try to get around it. I'm old enough to remember when "hell" and "damn" were edited in books and not used on television at all.

It makes me think of certain digestive problems. Now you know why I don't use either version.
