 "At first light they attacked… [swinging] their swords and battle-axes without mercy until they stood ankle-deep in blood. Few of the victims escaped with their lives." For more than 300 years starting in the 10th century, the Eastern Roman Empire's secret weapon was the bloodthirsty Varangian Guard.  Mercenaries hired to act as the bodyguards, secret police, and personal army of the emperor, the Varangian Guard was made up of the most savage and uncontrollable Viking warriors who were shipped east by their overlords in Scandinavia.  One Byzantine chronicler characterized them as "frightening both in appearance and in equipment," adding that "they attacked with reckless rage and neither cared about losing blood nor their wounds."  And throughout their reign, the Varangian Guard insisted on using their own Viking axes in battle, leading to their most common nickname: "axe-bearing barbarians."

He commanded the Igorot warriors from the Cordilleras of northern Luzon to fight the Americans in Caloocan.

 On September 16, 1976, world-champion finswimmer Shavarsh Karapetyan was finishing a 13-mile training run in Armenia when he suddenly heard a disturbing sound.  A trolleybus had fallen over a dam wall and plunged into Yerevan Lake.  The 23-year-old immediately sprinted to the scene, stripped down, and dove into the sewage-strewn water to save as many people as possible.⁠ Despite near-zero visibility, Karapetyan swam 15 feet down to reach the trolleybus only to discover there was no open window. So, he decided to kick the rear window out, lacerating his legs in the process.  Over the next 20 minutes, Karapetyan managed to bring 37 people to the surface, 20 of whom survived. Another nine escaped on their own through the window he'd broken open.⁠ ⁠ Karapetyan's heroism left him with permanently-scarred lungs after he developed pneumonia, and he spent the next three weeks in a hospital bed before he could walk again.  But the following year, he p...
