He later had his face surgically altered and his name legally changed to Chuck Norris.

When he was captured by the Germans, they found out his name they thought he was related to Winston Churchill and attempted to ransom him.

He also pretty much single handedly took an entire base from enemy occupation by just walking around and taking prisoners one at a time. 1/2

He also escaped 2 prisoner of war camps by just walking out. The second time around he walked over the Himalayas, eating small animals/ veg.

Is he the chap who said he could have kept the war going longer if the Americans hadn't turned up?

He also tunneled out of a concentration camp with a group of RAF fliers who'd been recaptured after participating in the Great Escape.

He was angry the Americans came into the war because "we could have got another 10 years out of it". Not 100% known if joking.

So he was an objectively bad person who saw the elimination of an entire generation of men and thought "why not get the next one too" then?

Well he seems mentally ill charging with a bow and sword into a fight. He did not value his life at all.

Yeh he found out it was over after he got back from escaping a PoW camp and hoofing it back to Blighty. Que that quote about ruining his fun

Well, it wasn't quite over; he hopped on a motorcycle and got partway to India to join the Pacific front before Japan surrendered.

This photo is from a training session btw. He had his sword on him when he actually went to war, but certainly was armed with a rifle or SMG

8 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 1

Didn't actually use them all that much, though. He used his bow for stealth/signaling and guns for firefights, IIRC.

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Which basically means he used his rifle for when it mattered and his bow for dumb bullshittery.

you forgot about the six 55 gallon trash bags full of grenades. that he continually tossed whilst playing his bagpipes.

He’s the only British soldier in WW2 to get a confirmed kill with a longbow.

he was utterly unique, and apparently his soldiers loved him (even if they called him Mad Jack)
