Mighty1, Courage and Heroisim is not an American Exclusive. Even the French have managed an occasional moment of military glory.

...but then, you knew that.

I know one of those, born Italian.. his appartment's full of fake heartwarming memorabilia.. the back room has all the guns and knives and plastic.. his triple locked front door's inside doorknob comes off unless you know the trick to it.
Totally crooked, now he's a GIGN.

He takes the prize for slickest, most deceitfully cunning, most human animal, baddest badass I've ever seen, in the flesh, in ink or on screen.. nothing quite like the real deal, I guess.
50 tons of savage potency under a 5mm layer of discipline.

Invited you up for a glass of red wine, did he? ;) "Say, is that a pistol I dropped over there in the corner, could you bend over and pick it up for me, Moot?" ;)

Rip I'm afraid he gets off more on spilt guts and raw bone than spilt bone and... raw guts?  You get the idea.

He did have one chick he had over for the afternoon do the dishes and tell him about some random interesting fact to set her ***** on fire with a zippo while she had her back turned :lol
Aside all the doubts I have about seeing thru the endless layers of deception he makes up 24/7, one thing I'm willing to be sure of is that living more than a moment away from death to defy it is the only pain he knows.

Meeting him and seeing a relative I cared for for 4 months die a few feet in front of me erased any doubts I had about life being nothing more than a deferment.

The one thing most people refuse to accept about life is that nobody gets out alive.

Try promising them 40 virgins? Seems to increase the entusiasm for death quite a bit with some people.
