Badass of the Week

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Badass of the Week Author Ben Thompson recently released the aptly named “Badass: A Relentless Onslaught of the Toughest Warlords, Vikings, Samurai, Pirates, Gunfighters, and Military Commanders to Ever Live“. The website that the book is based on is updated every Friday and Thompson uses it to profile the toughest guys in history. One of his most recent posts was about Lewis Millett, Retired Army Colonel, three war veteran, Medal of Honor recipient, and general badass. His Medal of Honor was for leading a bayonet charge during the Korean war. Unfortunately, Col Millett passed away November 14th.
