Me at the beginning of the video: Man, this guy's a boss.
Me by the end of the video: Man, this guy is a psycho. (What made up my mind was his offer to assist that stranger with his duel and his suggestion to give a backwoods cremation to the loser. Dude, what the eff. How lucky for Adrien that he lived in the era that he did, to be able to take part in the two biggest wars in history. But I still say he was a nut. Tough as nails and a force of nature on the battlefield, but c'mon. you gotta be a bit of a nut to live that life.

He probably wasn't brave, he was honestly probably a little crazy, but in control of it. You'd be surprised how many people are like that and how much you can do when you stop caring about whether you live or die

I am Belgian and never heard of him before except of his cousin Henri Carton de Wiart who was a Belgian prime minister from 1920 to 1921. He would be a great character for a movie though: p

Cool, no doubt. Nothing about Alivn York from WWI? Shockingly nothing about Audie Murphy from WWII on your site either.
Your videos on TR are good though, so good on you there.

I love this Adrian guy kinda reminds me of myself sometimes. But I call it Robot brained. Like you're set out to just do the task regardless if you get a finger chopped off.

At the edge of madness, in a time of sadness
An immortal soldier finds his home
Proven under fire, over trench and wire
No fear of death, he's unshakeable

Id love to see his reaction to the world today. Im sure he would make sure hes using the proper pronouns. Maybe he would have died his hair blue too.

Yeah sure he might have been a badass, but in my opinion anyone who thinks war and killing is fun is not a person that should be respected.

You should do a video about when Julius Caesar getting captured by pirates and swore to return to kill every last one of them. And did!

Would have been good if the British ranks were used rather than the American, however a fantastic video about a fantastic man

Can you imagine if George Patton, and him met. I could see them thrilled together cause they loved the sting of battle.
