SirDabrowski's Hardcore Badass of The Month

[[GG]SirDabrowski]

Jozef Pilsudski



Just look at that guy. Take a hard look at him. Don't look him in the eyes, though, Jozef Pilsudski can even break through time and computer screens to strangle your neck just for trying to stand at the same level of 1337ness that he's on.

Jozef Pilsudski was born in the late 1800's, right when the World needed a badass like him. He was born in Russia, under Tsarist rule, and was jailed for being a Polish revolutionary and a Socialist. Instead of crying about his jail sentence and writing a few books, he got pissed.

Jozef Pilsudski, instead of doing what usual political dissidents do, did the complete opposite: He robbed banks with his gang and targeted harsh and abusive Tsarist cops. He was the epitome of a hardcore badass. He reportedly stole 200,000 Russian roubles from one bank, which, if he stole it today, would be 7,000 USD. He could buy himself a pretty good used car with that. Fortunately for Pilsudski, however, he knows how to fly at the speed of the USS Enterprise from the Original Star Trek. ( Not that crappy Next Generation. )

So, when WWI happened, and Tsarist Russia was getting it's butt kicked by Austria and Germany, Pilsudski decided to help kick Russia out of Poland. Helping Austria with an army of 10,000 riflemen, Pilsudski saw that everyone left Poland the *@#% alone. He was the dignitary for Poland during the Versailles Treaty agreements.

In the 1920's he lead the Polish Army in it's War against Soviet Russia, however, his Kiev Offensive would fail, he still pushed the Russians far back, out of Poland, with the Vistula Miracle, and got them to give up lots of territory. It's reported that half of the casualties that Russia lost were from Pilsudski himself. He was just that hardcore.

You might ask yourself, "omg lol this doesnt matter wtf r u saying this 4?" Well, what would have happened if Pilsudski had gotten a Polish Commonwealth together, and had formed an effective power between the Soviet Union and Germany? If Poland had been strong enough to defend herself in '39, and perhaps even throw back the Nazi war machine, WWII would have ended much sooner, and much more favorably ( Without the Cold War, too! ).


In 1926 he would lead a Military coup of Poland, realizing that the Polish Government was putzing around as usual, and wasn't getting @#%! done.

He died in 1935. ( He tried to raise New Orleans above sea level, his body couldn't handle it. )

If Pilsudski had been alive in 1939, Poland would have definately of lived. Why? Because we all know Pilsudski is a hardcore badass.

Ever heard of Thomas Meargh?

This guy was crazy. He was born in waterford Ireland. He fough with the resistance against the British in the 1840's. He tried to blow up a bridge but accidently blew up the town *oops*. At his trial he claimed he would do it all again if he had the chance. He was sentenced to be drawn and quartered but the judge overuled it and instead sentenced him to life in jali in Tasmania. He got out of there by marrying the jailkeepers daughter and escaped to america. There he lived in relative peaceful existence of drinking and gambling in New Tork City. When the American civil war came around he raised the all volunteer 69th Irish Brigade. He led this Brigade as a Brigadeer general until 1863. at the Battle of Antietem he Led the ferocious attack of said Brigade at the Bloody Lane where he was shgot off hgis horse and went to shock. he never led his troops personally in an attack again. He resigned in 1863 shortly after the battle of Fredricksburg. He wandered on army ships until 1864 when while sailing on the mississippi river got drunk and walked off the boat. He then drwoned and his body was never found. He is still revered in waterford to this day by some of its residents.

He also is my ancestor
