Over 100 years later the balls deluxe of Alvin York's action continues to defy belief.
Just the idea of capturing 32 enemy soldiers single-handedly. WTF? Now add another 100. WTF???!!?!!?! I'm lucky if I can capture a tiny lizard running around in my house.
I once killed and entire village of ants. I also snuck into a yellow jacket compound at dusk and sprayed a stream of Termidor SC into their entrance in the ground, escaped then a week later they were gone. I tell you war is hell. :)
God makes unlikely heroes out of the feeble that defy logic. Audie Murphy another one.
