You were good, son, real good. Maybe even the best...

Was browsing this page on Wikipedia. I have a morbid fascination with people's last words. Anyway, I came across this entry:

"The bastards tried to come over me last night. I guess they didn't know I was a Marine."

- Private First Class Edward H. Ahrens

Quoth the Wiki: "During the Battle of Tulagi, Private Ahrens was mortally wounded while single-handedly fighting back a group of Japanese soldiers attempting to infiltrate Allied lines. After his superior officer discovered Ahrens the next morning surrounded by dead Japanese troops, he whispered these words and died."

What a badass. How many of us will be able to claim a heroic, sacrificial death right out of a movie? And moreso, the large majority of the population has probably never heard his story.

Truly, we should all strive to be like PFC Edward H. Ahrens; to constantly give it our all, in-game or out. Rest in peace, marine.
I play as this guy, proudly being dismembered by extraterrestrials since 2015.
Sometimes I might play other guys, you never know.

Ever hear of that doctor that killed like 50+ jap soldiers because one of their officers killed his patient?
He went literal "Apeshit"

Lesson to be learn, when you fuck with the United States, expect to be banned from having a military.
