rmdso, i hadn't realized the brits had a guy in WWII who went into battle with a claymore.
not a 'claymore mine'. fuck that. the guy carried a fucking claymore sword. and a longbow. he is the only british soldier in WWII known to have killed an enemy soldier with a longbow.
wikipedia article on Fighting Jack Churchill
and the dude surfed.
found via cracked.com's list of 5 real life soldiers who make rambo look like a pussy.
