Battlesight Zero

It isn't very often you read, "...he grabbed them and smacked their heads together..." in an official award citation...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On June 14, 1952, Sergeant David B. Bleak volunteered his skills as a medic to accompany a recon patrol. As they ascended a hill under cover of darkness, enemy machine guns opened up, wounding soldiers at the head of the column. Sgt Bleak rushed forward to treat them. Three more Chinese opened up from a nearby trench, wounding another. Bleak charged directly through the fire and jumped into the enemy position. The 6'5", 250 pound medic snatched the nearest Chinese soldier and snapped his neck. When the second approached, Bleak simply grabbed him by the throat and crushed his trachea. Bleak unsheathed his knife and stabbed the third one to death. He returned to treating the wounded until a grenade bounced off the helmet of the man next to him. Bleak tackled the man, smothering him with his huge body and protecting him from the blast. Neither were injured.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The patrol successfully captured several prisoners. As they descended the hill, the enemy ambushed them once again. Three more Americans went down. Sgt Bleak was shot in the leg attempting to reach them. He dressed his own wounds and those of the three soldiers, one too injured to walk. Despite his leg wound, Bleak heaved the soldier onto his shoulder and continued down the hill. Two more Chinese soldiers suddenly appeared before him with fixed bayonets. Bleak dropped the wounded man, grabbed one Chinese head in each hand, and smashed them together, fracturing both men's skulls. Bleak let their limp bodies fall out of his way then picked up his wounded comrade again. All 20 members of the patrol returned alive to friendly lines.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For his incredible, fearless actions saving the patrol, Sgt Bleak was awarded the Medal of Honor. At its presentation, President Eisenhower struggled to reach around Bleak's large frame to fasten the ribbon.

This guy looks and sounds like he could be Richard kuklinski’s good twin.
No disrespect to this great American, just remarkable similarities.

When I was a kid, My dad (mechanic for decades) got me with the "grab me the left-handed 3/4 wrench from the tool box, please."

“Right under the box of grid squares, between the rack stretcher and the bucket of prop wash”

I worked with a good spirited junior technician with a below average I.Q. Used to love sending him to look for a 14/16” wrench or a 10/32” socket. 6.25 mm drive ratchet handle was fun too, Never got old.

Phone rings*************
Dispatcher: Hello, 911 what is your emergency?
Frantic Citizen: SOMEBODY BROKE INTO MY HOUSE, THEY HAVE A GUN, I NEED THE POLICE!!!
Dispatcher: Im sorry to hear that. Try to remain calm as they go about their business.
Frantic Citizen: CALM? I NEED HELP RIGHT NOW. IM HOME ALONE AND IM HIDING IN A CLOSET BUT THEY ARE HEADING MY WAY. SEND THE POLICE NOW!
Dispatcher: Im sorry to hear that. As you know, the public asked for the police department to be disbanded and unfunded so I cant send anybody at this time.
Frantic Citizen: WHAT AM I SUSSPOSED TO DO? I NEED HELP NOW!
Dispatcher: Yes that certainly sounds like a terrible situation. I can send you conflict resolution pamphlet for $4.99. It may take 7 days to arrive. Can I have your address? I can include a pamphlet on self policing if you like for an additional $4.99? I can take payment via credit card. Im ready for your card number now.
Angry Citizen: NO I NEED THE POLICE RIGHT NOW. HE IS ALMOST HERE.
Dispatcher: While this sounds urgent, I don’t think its wise to assume the person gender. While they may look male, they may identify as one of many other genders. If you like I can add a pamphlet that covers sensitivity training? Just add $4.99 more. Can I have your credit card number?
Angry Citizen: THE “PERSON” IS SMASHING THINGS AND STEALING MY STUFF. SEND SOMEBODY NOW! THEY ARE IN THE SAME ROOM WITH ME NOW!
Dispatcher: If you are able, can you place the other person on the line, I can offer them a pamphlet on the dangers of breaking the law. Try to stay at least 6 feet away to conform to social distancing guidelines. Do you have a mask?
Angry Citizen: IM A TAXPAYER AND A BUSINESS OWNER. I DEMAND POLICE PROTECTION! MY HOUSE IS MY HOME BUSINESS, HE…………. THEY…………IT, IS DESTROYING MY HOME AND BUSNESS AND IS GOING TO DISCOVER ME HIDING HERE.
Dispatcher: Hold please………………………………………. Our records show that you do not currently have a permit for a home business. Have you been open during the Covid 19 shutdown?
Angry Citizen: YES, WHATEVER! WHO CARES ABOUT THAT! I NEED HELP NOW!
Dispatcher: I will be dispatching an officer to cite you for keeping your business open during the shutdown. Should I have the officer bring the pamphlets we discussed?
Angry Citizen: Sounds of closet door opening…………………. Screams…………………… BANG BANG!!
Dispatcher: Hello? Hello??? This call will be charged to your phone bill at a rate of $2.99 for the first minute and .99 cents for every minute after that.
