One of the items in Michael Ledeen’s post about Colonel Reusser really stuck out to me as about the baddest thing I’ve ever heard:

In 1945, while based in Okinawa, he stripped down his F4U-4 Corsair fighter and intercepted a Japanese observation plane at a high altidude. When his guns froze, he flew his fighter into the observation plane, hacking off its tail with his propeller.

I’m not worthy.
