Three sentences don’t do this guy justice. Those 93 Germans he captured? That was in one battle. He was offered a Distinguished Service Cross (roughly equivalent to a Medal of Honor), but declined it because he considered the officer who’d be awarding it incompetent. He later received one for liberating Zwolle, and got a bar for it when he and his men held a hill against 14,000 Chinese for 3 days in the Korean War.

He was in Zwolle doing reconnaissance with another soldier, when that soldier was spotted and killed. Major got so pissed that he went and liberated the city himself, even though the Canadian army was just outside and preparing to invade. He ran through the streets, shouting, firing his gun in the air, and throwing grenades, to make the Germans think that the Canadian army was invading. He captured a bunch of German soldiers in the city (80+), and won a firefight against eight SS officers, killing half of them and forcing the rest to flee. He also burned down the Gestapo HQ. This was just two months after breaking a lot of bones when a vehicle he was in ran over a landmine.

The blind eye? He got that after killing four soldiers who were part of an SS patrol. One ignited a phosphorus grenade before dying. He didn’t let the ruined eye stop him from being a sniper, because he only needed one eye to use the scope on his weapon.

Leo Major died in 2008. Zwolle named a street after him.

“Major got so pissed that he went and liberated the city himself, even though the Canadian army was just outside and preparing to invade.”

This guy deserves a movie

This. Man. Is. GOD.

Actually, a couple at my cousin’s church disowned their son when he came out as gay and kicked him out of the house at age 16. He went to our pastors house and told him about being gay and my pastor was livid.

So he actually ADOPTED the kid who was disowned and the next day in church the entire sermon was based on this verse.

Do any of you reblogging this have any fucking idea what zoos actually do? I hate PETA’s fucking sensationalist, uneducated bullshit.

(First, let me say that this doesn’t apply to all “zoos.” Many animal attractions, parks, etc. have inadequate facilities and care, breed animals for no other reason than to have babies at all times, keep animals in dangerous environments, etc. This is in reference to accredited, official, quality zoos.)

1. Zoos’ main purpose is conservation. Zoos breed and care for endangered animals, some of which are literally extinct in the wild. There are more than thirty unique and special animal species that are considered “extinct in the wild.” Meaning that, without zoos, they would have been gone forever, probably a long time ago. Think about the scimitar-horned oryx:

the Pinta Island tortoise (Lonesome George, the last living pure Pinta Island tortoise, just died, but about 17 hybrids were discovered):

the Père David’s deer:

the Socorro dove:

and the Kihansi spray toad:

…all of which would be lost forever without zoos. And those who have already gone extinct because of human destruction is in the hundreds. Some of the most recent are the passenger pigeon (ext. 1914):

the Mexican grizzly bear (ext. 1964):

the Caribbean monk seal (ext. 2008):

and the Javan tiger (ext. 1970s):

…all of which could have been saved. And it’s only getting worse.

2. Zoos strive to educate the public about the beauty and importance of animals they might never have heard of otherwise. Most people would never hear of animals like the tapir, the kudu, the condor, the ocelot, or the marmoset (among others) if they never went to a zoo. Many people still don’t. But how many kids, after going to the zoo, have made a new favorite animal? How many of you did? I did, many times. Zoos (with the help of other things) inspired me to go into the field of Zoology, where I hope to use my career and life to help these animals. If a kid’s never seen a bear in real life, or a tiger, or an elephant, how much do you think they’re going to take notice?

3. Zoos take in animals that were injured, seized from illegal situations, or otherwise compromised. They strive to either rehabilitate them or keep them in a safe, comfortable environment. Most animals that are taken from the illegal pet trade or other such illegal trades are not fit to be released into the wild. Many have become accustomed to relying on humans for food and other necessities. In the wild, they would continue to seek human help, putting both them and the humans in serious danger (especially in the context of big cats, bears, and other predators).

Fucking stop it. Educate yourself and support your local zoo. They need our help.

SIGNAL BOOST. The Oakland Zoo has saved tigers who would have otherwise been broken from performing in a circus. Now the bbs get space, love, toys and all the health care they could ever need.

Support credible zoos

Thank you. Seriously. Thank you.

The amount of good a zoo can do is incredible, so don’t even dare say that zoos are innately bad. There are bad zoos, and a lot of times unfortunate situations and ignorant visitors, but there are also amazing people doing excellent work.

I miss the Bronx Zoo. *sniff*
