If you had to pick one character from any war movie ever made to watch your six, who would it be and why?

Not a war hero, but have you guys heard of Medal of Honor awardee MSG Roy Benavidez ? If not read his story complete badass and even better man. Take few minutes to look him up or hear his story.

Can I choose Sgt. York? I know he was a real person, but they did make a movie about him in the early 1940's. How many other people do you know of that captured over a 100 Germans almost single-handedly?

James Caan's character in "A Bridge Too Far". Loved the scene when he pulled a gun Olivier and forced him to operate on his CO.

Lieutenant Jean Rasczak from Starship Troopers. Some of his words of wisdom:

"Naked force has resolved more conflicts throughout history than any other factor. The contrary opinion, that violence doesn't solve anything, is wishful thinking at its worst; people who forget that always die."

"Figuring things out for yourself is practically the only freedom anyone really has nowadays. Use that freedom. "

"I only have one rule — Everyone fights, no one quits. You don't do your job, I'll shoot you myself."

"I need a corporal. You're it, until you're dead or I find someone better."

Best character to watch my six? GUNNY HIGHWAY, hands down! There are a lot of awesome characters already mentioned that I would love to serve with, but for watching my six, it's gotta be Gunny...

Odd ball from Kelly's Heroes. Why? Even though he was unorthodox he knew his shit and it showed especially when taking his platoon of tanks into that German railhead and tearing it apart and then engaging the Tigers in the village. Give me crazy every time because when it hits the fan they are in their own element.
