Maccuswael's post reminded me of this article I stumbled across a while ago - 5 Real Life Soldiers Who Make Rambo Look Like a Pussy: http://www.cracked.com/article_17019...ike-bitch.html

#3 is fairly relevant to the topic, I think. Captain Jack Malcolm Thorpe Fleming Churchill.

He is best known for saying that "any officer who goes into action without his sword is improperly dressed" and, in following with this, for carrying a sword into battle. In WWII. And not one of those sissy ceremonial things the Marines have. No, Jack carried a fucking claymore. And he used it, too. He is credited with capturing a total of 42 Germans and a mortar squad in the middle of the night, using only his sword. Absolutely off his rocker. Managed to live through the war just fine, and died in 1996 at a ripe old age.
