Most badass soldiers

[ChallangerSnap]

Who do you think were the most Badass soldiers in history?
I really like the Knights Hospitaller and the Teutonic Knights cause of their armour.

Simo Häyhä.

Oh, you mean soldiers. The Spetsnaz gets my vote then.

Everyone on this list.

I meant groups/factions, not individuals.

 

[Christemo]

i have 3 favorites, altho 1 of them is christian, so they kinda suck, but anyway:

S.A.S.
Spetznaz.
Vatican Swiss Guard.

 

[The_ModeRazor]

Hehe obviously the defenders of castle Eger. There were 2000 of them and they beat 200000!

 

[Amnestic]

Simo Häyhä.

This. The guy was a beast in human form. The Finnish in general had some really badass fighters during WW2.

 

[CloudKiller]

How about the Spartans, we all know why.

 

[PurpleLeafRave]

Clearly COGs from gears of...
Oh wait, history...RAF (Not because I'm part of it, honest.)

Indeed:

Wouldn't want to be up against them.

umm...

the Adeptus Astartes?

 

[Motti]

Got a couple:
The british Longbowmen who fort at Azincourt (I refuse to spell it Agincourt, it's a z goddammit). Charging armoured knights in full plate mail when unarmoured and armed with a poleaxe as a melee weapon at best is pretty crazy.

The following groups of australian soldiers:
35th Batallion AIF (Villers-Bretonneux, WW1)
39th Batallion AMF (Kakoda, WW2)
D company of 6RAR (Long Tan, Vietnam)
The SASR (for obvious reasons)

Those guys love impossible odds.

 

[bodyklok]

That's easy; SAS.

umm...

the Adeptus Astartes?

History... and the Adepta Sororitas would own them.

On-topic: Simo Hayha from that cracked article. However, I remember a similar story where it was a Russian sniper...
But since it was against Russians it's just my brain screwing with the minor details.(easily fixed by getting the correct details, like now)

damnit you beat me! White Death for the win!

Listen not to detract from Finlands impact on the Eastern front but .... the Fins didnt kill anyone Finland did. Extreme weather & conscript Russian troops took its toll and probably accounted for most of the deaths. Its a real impressive number but doesnt indicate fighting vigour or strength in any way.

read what one Finnish man did on that list, and say that again
