5 War Heroes Who Never Touched A Weapon

Posted by Jill Harness in History, Society & Culture on September 21, 2011 at 2:02 am

It’s one thing to be a hero who kills hundreds of enemy soldiers in battle, but to become a hero without even using a weapon -now that’s impressive. Cracked has a great list of heroes who fought the good fight without ever handling a gun. Take, for example, Bill Millin who played bagpipes at the battle of Normandy.

So, he ordered his piper, Bill Millin, to go ashore on one of the main landing points for the invasion of Normandy and wail on a set of bagpipes. Once on the beach, Millin calmly walked up and down at the water’s edge, playing while carnage exploded and people died all around him….Millin later talked to some of the Germans who had been captured to ask why they never shot him, and discovered it was because they thought he had gone mad.

The other four fighters are just as impressive.

I’ve never seen koalas so angry before. The noises they make are utterly bizarre and strangely cute. If you can ignore the annoying narrator’s comments, it’s a fascinating video.

This kitty can’t stand other cats, even photos of them. His destructive nature is adorable though.
