    ========= The Unkillable Soldier LYRICS ==========
    Into the fire through trenches and mud
    Son of Belgium and Ireland with war in his blood
    Leading the charge into hostile barrage
    By design, he was made for the frontline
    Studied law, with a thirst for war
    Fought in Africa, wanted more
    Back in Europe then straight to France
    He’s joining the allied advance
    Through the Somme and the Devil’s Wood
    All the battles that he withstood
    Born a soldier enjoyed the war
    He always kept coming for more
    Never die, shot through the eye
    Never surrender however they try
    How they try, shot through the eye
    He’ll never die
    At the edge of madness, in a time of sadness
    An immortal soldier, finds his home
    Proven under fire, over trench and wire
    No fear of death he’s unshakeable
    In the battles, when he was shot
    Kept on fighting, and never stopped
    In Arras, Cambrai, Passchendaele
    Ignoring his wounds he prevailed
    Save the day, he’ll never stray
    Facing the foes that are coming his way
    Come his way, he’ll never stray
    Saving the day
    At the edge of madness, in a time of sadness
    An immortal soldier, finds his home
    Proven under fire, over trench and wire
    Forged for the war he’s unbreakable
    At the edge of madness, he will show no sadness
    Never broken, he’ll be back for more
    Proven under fire, over trench and wire
    No fear of death he’s unshakeable
    Edge of madness!
    No fear of death, he is forged for the war,
    he will always be coming for more

      White death had the most confirmed kills. He couldn't let his countries surrendering stop him from fighting the Soviets alone. Over 500 confirmed kills. That Nazi who fought destroyed 6 Soviet tanks in his first fight with a scout vehicle. Would later single handedly charge a combined American and British division who reported they were being attacked by multiple divisions and retreated/gave up the fortified town in. To a single tank without any infantry backing them up.

      Then there's the Jack Churchill (not related to Sir Winston) from Sri Lanka, who fought with bagpipes, longbow and claymore. Among other notable things, he scored the last combat kill with the longbow. Or Digby Tatham-Warter, who went into battle wearing a bowler hat and carrying an umbrella, which he used to poke a driver of the German armored car in the eye thus disabling the car.

      @@theleva7 Jack Churchill was born in Colombo in British Ceylon, which is modern-day Sri Lanka sure, but his family moved to Dormansland, Surrey, shortly after he was born. and then they moved to British Hong Kong about 5 years after that. and then back to the UK 7 years after that (specifically the Isle of Man, until he graduated high school [6 years] and went to Sandhurst).
      its more accurate to say he was from Surrey, the Isle of Man and Hong Kong (the 3 places he was raised) than to say he was from Sri Lanka.

      Because the current state of Hollywood is that it's been flooded with regurgitated-for-decades garbage from Marvel and DC, them having aggressive marketing campaigns and literally not giving any breathing space to something new or creative. Because Marvel and DC are deemed safe sail and everything else outside of them is risky project. Even Avatar (that movie with blue tall aliens) was at its time seen as very risky project by CEOs of Hollywood because of Marvel's and DC's lobby being so strong.
      I also think that history is goldmine for awesome movie material and story of Adrian would be so awesome to watch on cinema screens.

    "Lieutenant-General Sir Adrian Paul Ghislain Carton de Wiart, VC, KBE, CB, CMG, DSO ( 5 May 1880 - 5 June 1963) was a British Army officer born of Belgian and Irish parents. He was awarded the Victoria Cross, the highest military decoration awarded for valour "in the face of the enemy" in various Commonwealth countries. He served in the Boer War, First World War, and Second World War. He was shot in the face, head, stomach, ankle, leg, hip, and ear; was blinded in his left eye; survived two plane crashes; tunnelled out of a prisoner-of-war camp; and tore off his own fingers when a doctor declined to amputate them. Describing his experiences in the First World War, he wrote, "Frankly I had enjoyed the war.""

He was in the US Airborne in WW2, fought in Italy (His Homeland) with the extended family against Mussolini, jumped into France during D-Day, evaded two SS officers upon landing in a French town, stole a German motorcycle, which the Airborne let him keep until the end of the war, jumped into Belgium during Market Garden, was encircled in Bastogne, and had an affair with the daughter of a high up German who was so mad, we still have the paper work of the restraining order. We all still miss him, but at least he has my Grandmother with him now, as she died back in January.

    So basically Adrian Carton de Wiart got shot through the eye. Survived.
    Got shot in the back of his head, but survived again because the bullet didn't hit his spine.
    Gets shot again, loses his left hand.
    Gets severely wounded so many times that the nurses started preparing his personal pyjiamas for when he returned once again.
    He got severely wounded and nearly killed at least 8 times.
    At last, he died.
    At the age of 83, due to old age.

      I made a D&D character for a Strahd campaign, a Ravenfolk Forge Cleric who had gone up against Strahd several times with different parties and lost 5 times before the story picks up, with him losing an eye, part of his beak, his right arm, left leg and part of the right side of his chest, with those things being patched up with his skills as a Forge Cleric, replacing the arm, leg and part of his chest with mechanical parts, giving himself a metal tipped beak and creating an eyepatch with is first company's logo on it.
      I thought that that character was pushing the edge of what would be acceptable or believable.
      Then I found out about Adrian Carton de Wiart, an actual countryman of mine (or at least half) and was like "Christ my character is a lightweight compared to what this guy did in real life!"
      What an absolute madman that deserves all the respect in the world.

He gained renown among his men for leading a hand picked group of specially trained Trench Raiders into enemy lines- Winning the Military Cross in one raid against the Prussians when he and his group destroyed several dugouts. He was 20. Hi met his death at Arras after leaving the trench he captured with a box full of hand grenades that he and his Sergeant Major used to fight off a German counter attack. They were successful, and as he was admiring his work, a single shot from a sniper hit him in the heart. He was 21. A Merchant in Peace, but a Warrior in War. He has no known grave.

      Second, we don't know what an achieved Communist state would be, simply because we have no point of reference. The revolution always seems to get stuck at the 'dictatorship of the proletariat', the proletariat being represented (very fairly, of course) by a party or a person. Those states have leaders and decorations, both inherently incompatible with full equality. Communist Cuba was known for its baseball achievements, the USSR for its chess players, the latter also had scientists outpacing the Americans in the Space Race.
      Third, you think feudal Japan valued individualism? Thank you. Just in case I needed additional evidence you don't actually know what you're talking about, I consider it duly delivered.
      The greats of history have just that in common: they're great at... something. Leadership, tactics, endurance, athletic ability, language, science, whatever. Society will exploit these talents, or they'll muscle their way in. That's just how it goes. I wish regimes as idealistic as what you describe existed; there is no state in the world that would discover useful talent and squash it rather than putting it to use.
