Badasses of History: Leo Major

This is perhaps the most bad*ss Canadian to ever exist and his name is Leo Major.

[Ebwite]

Dunno what’s more impressive, the fact that this guy is a literal badass, or that he refused a possibly great honor just to shit on his CO. True chad.

Loses one eye
Him: finally a challenge

[thecoolaxolotlnova]

"Ayo John my eye is gone!"
"OH that's terrible Leo."
"No it's great! Look at me I look like a pirate!"

[hammer]

Him and his friend were doing recon in Zwolle, looking for a way to capture or atleast liberate the town because it was scheduled to basically be levelled by artillery. His friend was killed by the Germans, fombined with the situation led to his one man rampage. Yarnhub has done an excellent video on it

Leo Major lost 1 eye: Nice! I like it! From now on call me "Solid Snake".

[Zamtrios]

Him: *loses an eye*

Also him: YO HO HO IT IS THEN

[themediabros]

Yeah this guy was epic. Liberating an entire occupied village is an insane feat.

[Alexiety-]

“Im back and i lost an eye”
“Oh shit thats horrible”
“No its great, i look like a pirate now and imagine getting sniped by someone with 1 good eye”

[jankapuscinski]

"So he's a major?"
"No he's a sgt"
"sgt major?"
"No just a sgt but his name is major"

[godemperorletoatreidesii]

There are so many people through history that deserve a movie it's not even funny he is just one in a long list of unbelievable badasses why the hell does Hollywood keep sleeping on these folks.

[warrenpierce]

I nominate James Doohan as a Canadian badass. He lost a finger on D Day and kept going till the end of the war. Later played Scotty on Star Trek.

“Everybody gangsta till the weird Canadian pulls out his totem of undying “

[Snaakie]

Yep, a street has been named after him here in the city of Zwolle, which he helped liberate.


Forever grateful to our Canadian liberators!

[dinodude]

Leo majors commanding officer: *is incompetent*

Leo major: fine l, I'll do it myself

[oli]

Great summary of his story. And now in Quebec his story is now a lot more known and he is starting to be seen has a national hero has his story reach more people.

[Draygarth]

Canadian here, I gotta admit that this is the most Quebecois thing I've ever heard.🤣

[ploppyjr]

In zwolle there is a street named after him and he’s very well known. Actually passed it on my way to school

[kingboybeast]

Please make this into a series just called “badasses of history”
