Canada: “Fucking try me, bud.”
At the beginning of April 1945, the Régiment de la Chaudière were approaching the city of Zwolle, which was shown to have strong German resistance. On April 13, the regiment’s commanding officer asked for two volunteers for a reconnaissance mission into Zwolle, their tasks being to scout the German force and, if possible, make contact with the Dutch Resistance, before an Allied artillery barrage could commence. Private Major and Corporal Arsenault stepped forward to accept the task.[2] However, Major and Arsenault, wanting to spare the city from destruction, agreed to attempt to liberate the city themselves.[4]
That night, Major and Arsenault entered the farmhouse of Hendrik van Gerner, who gave them rough positions of German emplacements near the railway tracks. After leaving the farmhouse, Arsenault was killed by German fire[2][4] after accidentally giving away the pair’s position.[11] In a radio interview with RTV Zwolle, Major told that he became mad after that, but managed to control himself.[12] Major killed two of the Germans, but the rest fled in a vehicle.[4][8] Deciding to continue his mission alone, Major entered Zwolle near Sassenpoort.[12]
What happened after that is unclear. Stories about Major’s actions in Zwolle have been exaggerated and conflated with his other deeds, and there are several conflicting accounts of what actually happened, including several contradictory accounts from Major himself. However, what is certain is that Major spent several hours in Zwolle, the German military left the city, Major contacted the Dutch resistance, and he returned to camp with Arsenault’s body.[2][4][13]
Thanks to Major’s efforts, the planned shelling of Zwolle was called off, and the Régiment de la Chaudière entered the city the next day without firing a single shot. For his actions, Major received the Distinguished Conduct Medal.

It’s not well known, but the Allies had a top secret plan to end the war by parachuting Major into Germany, near Berlin, and showing him a picture of an ss officer kicking a puppy. The predicted extreme colateral damage was considered acceptable as it was expected that this action would end hostilities within 24 hours. The only reason the plan was not carried out was no one knew how to stop him afterwards.
That’s what really gets on my nerves about that Nolan movie; not once did they mention the Major as the prime motivation for the bomb, in the hopes that the shockwaves would dampen his spirits somewhat after a rampage. Hollywood hacks…
It’s unclear what actually happened, but Private Major alone caused the Germans to retreat after a few hours.
Fucking based.
He should be promoted to Private Lt. Colonel. Or possibly Corporal Major.
Major Major
Private Major
Isn’t that a character in Catch-22?
Major Major Major Major was presumably a private at some point, so I’d say yes!
Leo Major was a real, true to the word, BAD ASS… I would NOT want to be on the wrong side against a guy like him
Legit, the man kicked Nazi ass so hard that their keisters hurt in the next life.

I haven’t heard much from the MAGAs in Alberta since the Venezuela invasion killed their shitty crude oil sands prices.
Maybe the face-eating snow leopards are out.
We usually are already.
It’s only when we are threatened that we look to extend the Geneva Checklist.
Unfortunately not being a 13 yo girl isn’t going to save anyone
Is your president going to mistake us for a 13 year old girl?
Carney (proved when he was complicit in genocide working closely with his nepo buddies in the UK Conservative party that he) does not need to mistake you for a 13 year old girl to fuck you.
Agreed… but you can’t really mentioned that without talking about the alternative PP who is still licking the pedophile’s boots to this day (last Tweet I read he was praising the move on Venezuela)…
Carney is our Kamala… we were just sober enough to hold our noses and vote for him before giving the country away like the Muricans did
And “best behaviour” will do nothing to save you.
Yes.
This is a daily reminder that Donald j Trump, best friends with Jeffrey r Epstein, enjoys raping children.
