Bad Ass Doesn't Begin To Describe Him


I just read a dissertation regarding the recently deceased Senator Daniel Inouye. This was one guy I wouldn't want to piss off. If I was a German WWII veteran, I'd want to put a few dozen rounds into Inouye's coffin just to make sure he was dead. The reason for this being that the occupant of said coffin is
[...]a face-crushing ass-kicker named Daniel K. Inouye, and his story is so over-the-top insane that if you saw it in a movie you'd think the screenwriter was totally full of shit.
While visiting scenic Italy in 1944, Senator Inouye took out several German heavy machine gun nests while in the process of getting half blown apart himself. He lost his right arm in this action and probably should have been killed if he weren't such a bad ass.

The story is here. Senator Inouye was the first Japanese-American to become a US Senator. And the fact that a Japanese-American became the senator of a state (then a territory) that only 21 years prior had been bombed by the Japanese is another story in itself.

Senator Daniel K. Inouye, we salute you.

I understand they needed an XL casket to accommodate his gigantic balls.

May he rest in peace, and rise in Glory.

Thank God he was on our side!

Fragdan - they must have buried him in a double-wide.

Chris - I believe that Inouye was the kind of man that thanked God for being born on this side.

Kid - it always amazes me what normal humans beings can accomplish under abnormal circumstances.
