@@Number1Irishlad No Victoria Cross is the equivalent of the Medal of Honor. Purple Heart is for getting wounded or killed in battle, no matter the reason, or the battle. You could get randomly shot and incapacitated, later get the Purple Heart. Victoria Cross is awarded for "... most conspicuous bravery, or some daring or pre-eminent act of valour or self-sacrifice, or extreme devotion to duty in the presence of the enemy". About the exact thing as Medal of Honor. ie. Doing something without thinking of yourself and going above the call of duty. Saving the day.. Distinguished Conduct Medal was awarded for "Gallantry in the field" ie. showing ingenuity and staying cool and prevailing when all odds against you. Leo Deserved the Victoria Cross for the Zwolle Scouting mission. But he most likely was snubbed for his French Canadian patriotism. Go look at his wiki page, it's extremely more impressing. He has a full book of memory I think out there.

Perhaps he was BUT that leads to one question in my mind...Who trained him to fight like that?! "The Boss", maybe? Who was, "The Boss"? Did he have to take out, "The Boss"? Is it plausible that Metal Gear may be a more historical reference than fiction? Hideo Kojima is a tricksy fella, after all. Could he have done the research but altered the national alignment of the protagonist's home military for marketing purposes? After all, Canada is very anti-war in almost all forms of propaganda and soldiers of Major's caliber definitely could have made use of an, "Outer Heaven", to apply their trade. Was he cloned? Or is there no "Solid/Liquid Snake" Or would that intel be above the pay-grade of us plebs?

You have to understand one thing about the canadian army in WW2. French canadian were seen as... lesser soldiers by the army. At this time le régiment de la Chaudière was the only french canadian battalion on D-Day (the canadian army at this time had 4 french canadian battalions. That explain why Léo refused to hand hover the half-track he had captured. He didnt want an english canadian battalion the get the honors for the capture, since it was a french canadian battalion that had captured it.

He did go off on his own without orders. There is an archive in Ottawa of recordings of Canadian soldiers telling war stories in their own words. Leo expressed great disgust about how the Americans had abandoned their position in Korea. He also describes how he took Zwolle. His children had no idea of what he had done during the war until they received an invitation to go back to Zwolle by the mayor of that city. The occasion was the renaming of one of the main boulevards of the city after Leo. The people of Zwolle did not and do not forget who Leo Major was.

Kind of. Zombies were French Canadians conscripted for defence of Canada. There was no conscription for overseas service in WWII due to the issues of WW1. To get around it, there was conscription but only for service in defence of Canada. That being said, by the end end of the war, about 2500 conscripts did end up going overseas, but only having volunteered to go after having already been conscripted, largely in order to ensure overseas conscription didn’t become necessary.

8:10 Actually, there's missing information: not long before, Montgomery made a catastrophic military decision killing 1000+ allied soldiers uselessly, which is why Leo judiciously perceived him as "incompetent" (many of his fellows died along British troops). It's also well known that it's rather Montgomery who had huge ego issues. In fact, if L.Major had such "ego issues", he would have accepted the medal whoever was handing it to him... On the opposite, those who knew him well said that he was quite humble and didn't like to brag about his feats, refused to talk to journalists etc. (which is one of the reasons the Canadian public didn't know about him up until recently)... But hey, you're reacting to a clip that doesn't tell the whole story in details so that's ok ;) 8:40 he actually went "awol" as he fled the hospital that wanted to send him back home, onto a jeep passing by up to a family in Holland that he met sooner, and stayed there during a month (28 days) to recover before going back to his regiment. Instead of being treated as a deserter, the commanding officer was glad that he was back for the battle to come..

Violet is also known as "Hittorf's phosphorus". Uh...without a good few hours of research I could explain more but can't sadly. Black is the least volatile out of the Phosphoruses.

Have you done any videos on Mad Jack Churchill? There’s several of them, and he’s like awesome. The WW2 guy that fought with a claymore and a bow and arrow.

To be fair Monty failed repeatedly, for example operation Market Garden; and is said to have taken great great pleasure in ordering the bombing and shelling of French towns occupied by the Germans.

Leo represents the 2% of people willing to kill. 1% kill because of psychopathy the other 1% do it out of love and brotherhood. I suspect when Willy died Leo realized others would die. He chose to put his own life on the line instead of the lives of others. I can completely understand a person who thinks they can risk their own life, but they cannot risk someone else's life.

The whole story of this battle is far more impressive since Leo retook hill 355 with 18 guys while the usa were 10k and retreated. The battle had 14k Chinese with a 1800 casualties while less than hundred members of the 22 and their support held it with 18 casualties

She was surprised by all the attention he was given, it turned out he had never told her much about what he had done. One other point, it is true that in ww2 there was strong French Canadian opposition to the war and conscription. But 57% of Quebecois did volunteer, to put that into perspective only 38% of Americans volunteered for the war.

His best friend was named Willie Arsenault (from what I understood in the narration).

called em zombies because they were 'walking dead'

The reason leo thought the general was incompetent was because during that month long battle when he captured those prisoners the Canadian army suffered 6000 casualties so that why he was mad he refused the medal he lost all respect for the general

That's why as a scout you put all your points in sneak & stealth 😆

The dude apparently ran on videogame logic before videogames were a thing. Also, White Phosphorous on the face sounds like an unfun time. Probably channeled that into pure berserker rage.

Something tells me this guy's real name was Logan.
