And there are many more things about him. Like the moment when he reported to duty with umbrella in his hand, because "it was raining". He was ordered to do 50 pushups as punishment and he did them on one hand, still holding the umbrella over his head. Or how he captured something like 50 Germans during one night with his sword and the only German line he knew (handehoch, swinehund). And the story how he killed a Nazi with bow, it gets even better. The local German commander didn't believe it, so he ordered the whole attack group to stop so he can investigate. That gave Jack and his friends about 2 hours to get as far as possible. And night before that he and few his friends were shot at by mahcine gun, everybody ran away, except Jack. He dropped down, crawled to the machingun post and dropped in a grenade. When his commander later asked him why he didn't run, he said "you know sir, I was too tired to run. This was the only other option."

The one personal story that defines the changing of fate, was when I was nineteen. Towards the spring of nineteen eighty-one, I found myself in the Canadian Military. A far cry, from the sixty-one I am today. My story is similar in many ways, because of a simple act of fate that would have made me nineteen forever. As I was preparing for one month leave, I was going to backpack solo through Great Britain, Scotland, and then France One guy who I hardly knew, had overheard my conversation with the barrack warden concerning my month-long absence. Just by chance, and asked me if I was into psychic phenomena? Hell, yeah, my mom was Acadian French, and I had more than my share of hearing Mrballen-type stories growing up. Again, l hardly knew this guy, maybe said hello twice? But my fate like poor Dave was intertwined with a person I barely knew The night before my trip, Perry asked me to come to his room, have a few beers and then the reading would begin. Dude went into a trance, said a few things I now forget, and then stated that I would meet a dark-haired woman in Switzerland who would want me to go with her, but If I did? I would be murdered. I thought, okay, I am not going to Switzerland at all actually. Perry just stated over and over that I was in great danger if I went with this woman, and that he was never wrong. Okay, so be it The next morning I leave, and the trip begins. I was stationed at CFB Trenton, ON. The plane takes off, and we land in Ottawa to pick up some senior brass, who are heading to either London where I was heading, or Baden Soliegen West Germany. Halfway over the Atlantic, the pilot announces that we had to bypass London, and would be going to West Germany instead. So I had to replan the whole trip, now remember this was old school Europe on five dollars a day Plane lands in West Germany, and man it's hot and humid as %. i look at the distance, say & it, and decide to backpack through Western Europe. So my nineteen-year-old self, boots around Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Sweden, back to Copenhagen, on to Munich, watching the East German border pass by, miles of miles of landmines, and barbed wire. Freaky stuff from back in the cold war era, when President Putin was still a KGB Colonel in East Germany The train leaves Munich for Innsbruck, then finally on to Paris, VIA SWITZERLAND. Now I had forgotten Perry's words completely. I was fixated on Paris as the last stop, and then back to West Germany, and finally Canada. At this time I had wayyyyyy too many beers and bottles of wine to even remember? Still, I was young. So I am standing in the isle way, just enjoying the Swiss Alps zoom by, beautiful memories just caught up in my thoughts Down the hall, a woman with dark hair approaches me. Many people love the corridors, allowing you to collect your thoughts. The woman is in her late twenties, kinda plain jane, a solid five plus in looks, lucky I believe it. She starts asking me the usual questions, and then asks if I want to spend some time with her in Lucerne? Sure, why not? Again, fate had decided on what decision I should make? The train pulls in, and I am standing on the platform. To this day, I still recall the train for Geneva on the right side, just pulling in, and waiting, as if for me to make the decision that would determine my fate. I look at the dark-haired woman on my left, and she's passing up and down frantically. I ask her if she's cool? and she gets very belligerent telling me to not ask questions, that she's waiting for someone, and then just as I say, $ lady Perry's words come crashing into my head. To this day, nearly forty-two years later, I can still remember his face as I looked at that train for Geneva. Christ, I nearly fainted. Everything slowed to a crawl in time, I gathered my wits quickly, and wait until the woman with the dark hair moves down the platform, and then jump on the train for Geneva just as the conductor is boarding. I give him my ticket, walk into a cubicle, and watch the woman with the dark hair, looking up and down my train with some guy screaming at her in German, looking for me I held my breath, as the train pulled out, and as they walked back down the platform still arguing. I sat there, ordered four beers, and calmed myself down. The train pulls into Geneva, I spend a few days just walking around in a daze, and then said $ it, forgot Paris, went back to the base in West Germany, and then back to my base in Canada. I arrive and call my mother who had fallen on her knees in prayer to God thanking him for my safe return. I thanked God and Perry. When I arrive, Perry asks me how the trip went? I told him the whole story, and the dude just looks at me and says, "I am never wrong dude, if you had gone with that woman, you would have never returned" By this time, I had had enough of the Military life, and just wanted to leave and enjoy freedom. And I did, on to other adventures in life. But if you ever wonder how fate can be determined in a brief moment in time, good or bad? This is how it can become. A Long story, BUT 100% TRUE

Always enjoy hearing the story of Mad Jack, no matter who tells it.

I wonder if Mad Jack had two Y chromosomes (XYY), a rare but possible genetic aberration which may make the bearers exceptionally immune to fear and willing to take insane risks (without the matching physical abilities possibly a one way ticket to the Darwin Awards Show).

Wow. Another amazing hero and story. Btw Mr Ballen, thank you for your cute little giggle when you tell the story of Jack lighting that office on fire. Your laughter and giggles are so heartwarming, and in this time of troubles, it does this old heart good. Thank you. 😊

A fun thought is that, since he was a commando, we probably didn't actually hear about his most badass adventures

What an absolutely amazing story and what a man. As a Scot and having a brother who was a Royal Marines Commando this really struck a chord. How have we never heard about this astounding Englishman who wore a kilt and played the bagpipes before. RIP Mad Jack.

What an amazing man, we need more men like him today

Part of the story reminded me of my grandfather. He was in the 12th armored division in World War II. He was in the Battle of the Bulge. His unit helped liberate the camp at Dachau. After the war he came home and had four kids with his wife, the youngest of which was my father. In about 2007 he went to get an x-ray on his neck for some health issue that he was having. After the x-rays were developed, the tech looked at them for a while, then called in another colleague to take a look at them. After some confusion they just looked at him and said, "Mr. Guy? are you aware there is a bullet in your neck!!?" and he just looks back at them and nonchalantly says, "Yeah, that sounds about right..." like it was no big deal at all. That bullet could have easily killed him if it had gone even slightly in any other direction. If it had, there would be three generations of my family that wouldn't even exist. We can only assume that he just thought he had been grazed back then. He ended up passing away in 2010 one month before his 90th birthday.

I don't recall the unit numbers/names my grandfather was in but wonder if he crossed paths with yours. He was also in the Battle of the Bulge and carried bodies of deceased Jewish prisoners at Dachau. He had been in the first wave on (i forget which beach on D-DAY Omaha or Normandy I think). Not knowing how to swim probably saved his life. He sunk to the bottom and held his breath as he walked up onto the beach out of the water. He didn't come home with a bullet like your grandfather but he took shrapnel to the leg. Decades later a piece worked it's way out of a toe. And another piece was discovered by his dentist. There was one story (he didn't talk much about it except once a year to a high school history class)... Story was they were in a town in France (if my memory is correct) and a fellow soldier was hit by a sniper and my grampa saw a big baby buggy and was able to lift the soldier into it to wheel him behind cover. There was a gun he took off a Nazi in my grandparents closet until recently (grampa passed in 98 and Gramma had to move to assisted living about 7 yrs ago. Have u ever read Brave Men by Ernie Pyle? He insisted on embedding himself in the trenches, on front lines and being with the common soldiers. There are a brief few lines he wrote about my grandfather. He did a good job describing my grampa like he did with everyone he wrote about. The book is very well written.

My grandfather was a tanker in the 12th armored division, as well. Would love to know if you have any more information about their experiences, as my papa unfortunately passed a few years before I was born. I did inherit a yearbook for the 12th as well as an SS officer's dagger that he picked up off the Battlefield after the Battle of the Bulge. He had a hand grenade tossed inside his tank, but thankfully was able to toss it into the air right before it detonated, only getting his pinky finger. Otherwise, three generations would cease to exist, just like you said. What was your grandfathers name, if you don't mind me asking? My papa was PFC Charles Hughes, Port Arthur, TX

If you have a sword and I have any decent handgun, unless we're already at arms length and you have the drop on me, you're dead meat. If you are supernaturally good with a bow, you might hit me at 250 yards; I can range you with the first shot, and hit you in the center of the chest with the second, with a good .44 Magnum hunting revolver, at that range or a bit beyond. A good archer can get off 12 shots a minute; I can get between 20 and 30 hits a minute, with an M1 Carbine, out to 300 yards, and with an accurate AR 15, maybe almost twice that far, although that itty-bitty bullet might not do you a lot of damage that far down range. Benjamin Franklin was right: We'd have ended the Revolutionary War sooner if we'd made much more use of 12 shot per second, 250 yard (area target, a mass of men) archery, than 3 shots per minute, 25 yard musketry (maybe 75 yards if you patched your ball). But that's a far different proposition than the best weapons of WWII. If you handicap yourself with an inferior weapon, in battle, you are asking to become a casualty, and to be less effective at defending your squad-mates' lives. Mad Jack was indeed looney tunes. A bow could be very useful in combat--it's quiet, for one thing. I might very well carry one; a recurve can weigh just a few ounces; arrows, maybe an ounce each. But until I needed it, it would've been slung over my shoulder, and an M1 Carbine, Thompson sub gun, or M1 Garand would've been in my hands.

I feel like this Mr. Ballen video should be played to cadets going through boot camp for inspiration. What a complete and total badass!
