A collective Catholic Light Total Badass award goes to the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, for eliminating 35 obstacles to peace on Earth:
OUTNUMBERED British soldiers killed 35 Iraqi attackers in the Army’s first bayonet charge since the Falklands War 22 years ago.The fearless Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders stormed rebel positions after being ambushed and pinned down.
Despite being outnumbered five to one, they suffered only three minor wounds in the hand-to-hand fighting near the city of Amara.
One is reminded of the old joke. The King sends a group of men to storm the castle and none return. He doubles the number and again, none return. Finally he sends everyone he has against the Scottish castle and one man returns with the report -- "It's a trap, there are two of them!"
I like it.
"Total Badass Award": it sounds like something Fr. Sibley would give out.
