Steel City: 100% fullbore...nailed it, times 100 sir.
Often said: Life is stranger than fiction.
Should be said more often: Real life heroes are more amazing than fiction.
Have to think if you tried to pitch this script in today's "Hollyweird" you'd get summarily tossed out of the office. Or they'd try to make it so "alternative lifestyle inclusive" that...I think I'll stop now.
CDR Sal, well done, well played, thanks for brightening my day...get you mentioned in dispatches for this one!
Awesome story, these are the men who really made a difference and are all my heroes. For more on this vein have ya seen the Norwegian story about the same time period? Worth an afternoon on a cold February if you’re up for a good similar story.
When the human spirit refuses to be crushed. Agreed on one thing the Count needed a wheel barrow just walk to town. There is quite a good series on the early days of the British SAS. It is based the true history of the SAS but not a history lesson meaning they take dramatic license. To the point of 25% of the series is true it is just astonishing stuff and frankly plain fun to watch. We have a Marine Corps Brigadier General now President of the Marine Corps University. He was “dishing” in civics with the attendees at a woman’s conference on peace or some such non war fighting nonsense. His principal message in the snippet posted on YouTube was about not being identified as the “jerk” in the room at Christmas Party. In the meantime CVN USS Harry Truman collided with a merchant vessel near Port Said Egypt. Nothing to see here folks the CNO? Well we are waiting for her to resign don’t hold your breath.
100% fullbore. Makes fictional Rambo-like plots tame by comparison.

We need people with that grit & determination today, just to shut down DEI & the Marxist crap that comes with it.

The Secret War of Harry Frigg (1968) starring Paul Newman comes to mind. I haven't seen it since the 80s, but I remember laughing my arse off.
Did something amazing, then lived as a leading citizen.
Fullbore.
Also, it is easier to live a quiet life after having had adventures in one's youth.
I'm not sure how he was able to stay hidden, they must have clanked when he walked.

The Original "Big Balls"
See, Tranny's have a place in the military.
Stones; big stones. Mas grande.

C'est un vrai étalon!
Even if some of the tale is embellished? (Insert lame contemporary big balls meme here.) He still has earned the right to be celebrated as Fullbore.
