Balls of Steel Thread

[hbionic]

We brag how tough we are. We all think we're badasses and could take out a whole bar of drunks with our bare hands.....but I think it is rare to read/encounter/see a person who does something to merit being called a bad ass.

This is one guy I didn't know about...but I think jumping from the atmosphere at altitudes of 70,000 to 100,00 and falling at speeds of up to 700mph is pretty ballsy. Oh yeah, he also shot down a MIG and was shot down himself. Did 3 tours in Vietnam and flew around 483 missions (per Wikipedia). Yeah, I can't say I'd be a fraction of a man as he was.

I always assumed your balls got hard everytime you read my threads. This confirms it.
