“Smokey” Smith Dies at 91
08.07.05Dead Germans lay strewn all over the road.
“I don’t take prisoners. Period,” Smith said 60 years later. “I’m not paid to take prisoners. I’m paid to kill them.
“That’s all there is to it.”
Kim Du Toit posted the entire article about the passing of one tough Canadian. The last man to win the Victoria Cross (Equivelant to the Medal of Honor). He earned the VC when he beat off more than just a few Germans during WWII. The guy is awesome.
Speaking of Canadians passing away, Peter Jennings died last night from lung cancer. Yeah, THE Peter Jennings, ABC World News, Mr. Poised-and-Prepared himself. Saw the special news report after the family issued their statement. Sad.
