[B]Audie Murphy[/B]
[quote]udie Leon Murphy (June 20, 1926 (?) – May 28, 1971)[2] was a much-decorated American soldier who served in the European Theater during World War II. He later became an actor, appearing in 44 American films,[2] and also found some success as a country music composer.
In 27 months of combat action, Murphy became one of the most highly decorated United States soldiers of World War II.[2][3][unreliable source?] He received the Medal of Honor, the U.S. military's highest award for valor, along with 32 additional U.S. and foreign medals and citations,[2][3][unreliable source?] including five from France and one from Belgium.[1][2][4]
Murphy's successful movie career included the extremely popular To Hell and Back (1955), which was based on his book of the same name (1949.)[3][unreliable source?] He also starred in an impressive 33 Hollywood Western films. He died in a plane crash in 1971[3][unreliable source?] and was interred, with full military honors,[3][unreliable source?] in Arlington National Cemetery. Audie Murphy's gravesite is the second-most visited grave at Arlington, after that of President John F. Kennedy.[1][3][unreliable source?] [4][/quote]
[quote]Just weeks later, he received two Silver Stars for further heroic actions.[1] Murphy, by now a staff sergeant and holding the position of Platoon Sergeant, was eventually awarded a battlefield commission to second lieutenant, which elevated him to the Platoon Leader position.[1] He was wounded in the hip by a sniper's ricocheting bullet 12 days after the promotion[1] and spent ten weeks recuperating.[1] Within days of returning to his unit, and still bandaged, he became company commander (January 25, 1945), and suffered further wounds from a mortar round which killed two others nearby.
The next day, January 26 (the temperature was 14 °F (−10 °C) with 24 inches (61 cm) of snow on the ground), the battle at Holtzwihr, (France) began[1][4] with Murphy's unit at an effective strength of 19 out of 128. Murphy sent all of his men to the rear[4] while he took pot-shots at the Germans until out of ammunition. He then proceeded to use an abandoned, burning tank destroyer's .50 caliber machine gun[1] to cut into the German infantry at a distance,[4] including one full squad of German infantry that had crawled in a ditch to within 100 feet of his position. Wounded in the leg during heavy fire,[1][4] he continued this nearly single-handed battle for almost an hour.[1][4] His focus on the battle before him stopped only when his telephone line to the artillery fire direction center was cut by either U.S. or German artillery. As his remaining men came forward, he quickly organized them to conduct a counter attack,[1][4] which ultimately drove the enemy away from Holtzwihr.[4] For these actions Murphy was awarded the Medal of Honor.[1][4][/quote]

He killed somewhere between 250 and 500, though it's argued it could be even higher then that. To top it off, the soldiers he trained killed over 3000.
No one can ever be more badass than guidos. :colbert:

The Badass medal should be like a mushroom cloud with boobs for clouds and fucking held together with bacon.
I would have posted Jesus, but that won't really classify.

What about Rasputin? IIRC he was gutted and lived, was shot with 3 times and was still alive, clubbed while lying on the floor, thrown into the river and only then did he die of drowning.
I'm pretty badass.

It's not the iraqi that blows himself up with a RPG, it's the guy that's filming who laughs like his neber fell over his gardenhose.

I think you're right but a bit out of order. i think he's dead body was thrown in a river and he survived that and then disappeared. i'm probably wrong though.

Broke out of the same jail twice, by getting a helicopter to land in the courtyard.

The Story
The fucker fought a mountain lion... with a chainsaw![/quote]
That's not badass at all. Chainsaws aren't exactly toothpicks, and the lion was starving. If anything, that guy is a pussy.

Fuck Vasili Zaitsev, all about Simo Hayha.
