You clearly have never seen war with your own eyes, because if you have, you’d be horrified by someone who actually said he enjoyed it. Regardless of how “cool” his story seems to you, seing people being ripped to shreds around you is traumatizing to anyone with normal human psyche.

He escaped the country by QUOTE: "hooking his stump arm around a hand railing of a fleeing train, while holding off nazi pursuers by firing a stolen German MP38 with his good hand" He also spent a ton of time hunting warthogs in africa after losing his hand.... with nothing but a fucking combat knife.

For some, they might think that this soldier was just the unluckiest in the battlefield, receiving all these kinds of injuries......if he was actively avoiding the conflicts.

@KimTheGrim4 ай бұрын
@@edvardm4348 The you dont understand the meaning of sisu, it has very little to do with honour or exemplary service that are both highly regarded in Japan and Korea for instance. The greatest example of sisu is sometimes shown by the meekest of men without any concept of honour, exemplary sisu can be shown outside of combat aswell. You cant even put it next to "guts" even if they have the same type of feel, sisu is when you have nothing prove or to gain but you still give it your all and despite succeeding you might not get any recognition or positive feelings from it. Sisu is a Finnish mentality that only fully shows itself under the harshest of conditions and these days we live too comfortable lives for it to manifest. Its a word Finns dont take lightly or if you do you are missing the point. I dont think you can ever truly understand the Finnish mindset if you dont grasp the concept of sisu.

One of the keys to sisu for me atleast is doing all those things without caring of the outcome or even if things get better. And there is no sisu without winter so maybe thats the biggest thing that sets it apart for me, you are right that Asians are the only people that i can relate to feelings of sisu and the brutality that has been experienced there might make them of stronger character but sisu has nothing to do with ethics or morality.

General Adrian Carton de Wiart was my great grandfather's all time hero! Which made me sit up and take notice as kid... Pop was a WW2 and Korea vet, who spent his entire working life in the Australian army... He was such a hard mofo, he lied about his age to enlist and escape his life as a farm hand (indentured servant basically) only to get shipped off to north Africa and almost got himself captured immediately. He was the toughest man I ever met, and that includes my dad's cousin Richard "Dick" G Fecteau , who was one of the very first CIA operatives. He was a paramilitary trainer who was training fifth pillar resistance operatives embedded in 1950s China, but their plane was shot down and he spent twenty years in a Chinese prison for his troubles. Spent the first three years being tortured, but refused to give them anything substantial or admit he was CIA, so he spent those years giving them the information of his college football team, just "to have a little fun with them, cause I figured they were gonna kill me anyway" The CIA made a film "Extraordinary Fidelity" about him and Jack Downey, the two longest serving POWs in US military history. It's actually a weird family thing on both sides, with my cousin and best mate (he's a bit older) being one of the Australian SASR's most decorated commanding officers having been awarded the Bronze Star by the USMC for his role in operating Anaconda, among a slew of other metalware they tried to take from him after the media smear jobs and war crime allegations. In the ABC reports about 3 Squadron, the C/O referred to as commander A who (allegedly) says "you better be prepared to see me put my pistol up against some c*nts temple and pull the trigger... And leave it in the theatre. Cause I don't wanna be reading about your "trauma" in the papers in ten years time" That dude is my cuz... apparently It's cool we mention that shit now. The ADF has found a PR and recruiting role, so allegations of war crimes are kinda in vogue lol That would have been fucking hilarious if you knew him, but I get why the guy who he said that to had a cry about it. My cuz said he could tell he wasn't made of the right stuff and I don't blame him. Those guys are not normal. They're not monsters, but they sure ain't normal.

You'd probably like "what it takes to win the V.C" by Jeremy Clarkson...pretty much all V.C winners are like this...the V C is made from captured Russian cannons. Only 15 have been awarded since WW2 with only 10 V C winners Currently living. To win a V.C you're extraordinary

"We had been crawling the whole time along the English wire. They had heard us and now had come out of the trench to examine the ground in front of them. Such moments on the prowl by night are unforgettable...The safety-catch of your revolver goes back with a little metallic click- a sound that goes through the nerves like a knife. The teeth grate on the fuse-pin of the grenade. The fray will have to be short and murderous. You are aquiver with two violent sensations- the tense excitement of the hunter and the terror of the hunted. You are a world in yourself, and the dark and horrible atmosphere that broods over the waste land has sucked you in utterly to itself"....from Ernst Junger, Storm of Steel
@tommyrq1804 ай бұрын
Bingo! I was thinking about Junger during this story. Also Guy Sajer (The Forgotten Soldier) and Eugene Sledge (With the Old Breed). Or, in a different twist, Japanese fighter pilot Saburo Sakai (Samurai!) who was wounded many times and still survived the war.
