You see the way his eyes look? That dude is no stranger to taking lives

Glasgow- 3 thugs attack 78 y/o man. On the way down he broke 1 arm, 1 leg & concussed. Elderly victim only had scrapes & broken eye glasses.

He should consider getting a refund for that dictionary. Good man though.
madman604
So badass that the victim even fled in terror.

I like to think it was five robbers all armed with one shared knife.

Well, I can attest, that once you get to a certain age you actually DO run out of fucks to give.
AlexMakesJokes
Remember kids, skill will often beat brawn in a street fight. So don't mess with anyone.
root1657
Article is clearly wrong. There is nothing former about this Commando.
th3p0x
Crazy how that shit never completely leaves a person.

He hadn't had a new scar in years... he was getting lonely.

Good ol' Nixon.

One man chose to take a stand, one man can make a difference. Don't be a bystander.
Alavar
Yeah the man who made a stand was a former commando sooo lol

These guys assess the situation, form a plan, and execute it before you notice he's spotted you. And it's mostly instinct...

THIS is a man who would run into a high school if a shooter was in it.

He might still be able to fight but I doubt he could run across the Atlantic

A Hero.!
CrassiusCurio
I saw Michael Caine in this movie.
TheDaharMaster
You saw my cocaine?
ElRoboBandit
I thought it was Clint Eastwood
CrassiusCurio
I was thinking of Harry Brown. It is basically Outlaw Josey Wales, though.
ElRoboBandit
Ah. I got more of a Gran Torino vibe.
Novemburr
harry brown?
CrassiusCurio
Yeah. Cool movie. If you like it, watch "The Limey".
Jokesterwild
thought that movie felt so real.
ClearBlue
Are you incapable of acknowledging genuine heroism or significant accomplishments without referring to fictional references?
CrassiusCurio
I've seen more movies than I've ever seen heroes.
ClearBlue
That’s sad. You really need to get out and experience life to the fullest.
SquatttingDog
That’s sad that you’re saddened by his/her comments.
ClearBlue
I’m really saddened by a young generation living vicariously through social media, electronic games, Etc., rather than experiencing life.
CrassiusCurio
Heroes are rare, that's kinda the point.
ClearBlue
Not really, there is physical bravery like the guy in the OC. Also moral courage, doing the right thing consistently. Heroes live among us.
ideagrinder
If you say "My cocaine" out loud you will also do an impression of Michael Caine saying his own name
SquatttingDog
Say “rise up lights” and it sounds like you’re saying “razor blades” in an Australian accent
CrassiusCurio
Maika cayne.
OneCoolFrood
Well it doesn't work if you say it in an Australian accent.
GyroPunk
This is why the whole UK vs US marines thing is silly. Royal Marines are commandos while US' are infantry, the US equivalent would be Recon
dogenuggets
+1, thanks, did not know, slightly concerned about what Recon is short for. Might be totally wrong but it sounds a tad brainwashy.
GyroPunk
Reconnaissance, although they are Special Oporations Capable and fall under MARSOC. Basically more highly trained or above grunt,under SEAL
GyroPunk
They have a similar name but they're not comparable, it doesnt mean US marines are worse, they are different unit types. Commando=Recon
greggor
Sounds like you’re more likely referring to Rangers, SEALs, or other special forces such as Green Berets.
GyroPunk
Commandos arent tier 1 like SEALS or the UK Equivalent SAS,but I guess Green Berets may be a good equivalent although I'm not super familiar
greggor
Royal Marines are amphibious infantry according to Wiki. Same as the US Marine Corps. Some UK marines are commandos. Some US are Raiders.
GyroPunk
All Royal Marines are commandos
Lambdafish1
So uh... Did she come back to thank him or did she just flee leaving the old man to potentially get stabbed?
Caffynated
Realistically there wasn't anything she could do against 5 "men". Might as well make something of his sacrifice and survive.
gilgameshish
she should be able to do as much as an 88 year old man, even a former commando. leaving him to die would be pathetic and dishonorable
Chikanboo
Do the world a favor and go in the next great adventure
Lambdafish1
Against the men, no. But at least phone the police and stay to make sure he is ok. The article makes her actions sound selfish and uncaring
thisismybraintalking
Why is nobody saying anything about the woman running away screaming
dondeestaelsanitario
They don't call them the greatest generation for nothing.
KoalasArentReal
No, they call them that because it was worth money to pander to them
CitizenDickbag
Wrong Generation though. Too young for ww2
Sekolah
Dunno why you are getting downvoted
Konoton
This guy doesn't look like a WWII vet, if he joined when he was 20, he joined in 1963.
MrPetitePenii
2018 - 88 = 1930 + 20 = 1950? Even so, there's records of 12yo-16yos lying about their age and enlisting, so it is possible he is a WWII vet
Arnlaugur
It said in the full article that he first saw action in korea i think
SumnerK
never said he was a WW2 vet. UK was involved in the Korean and Vietnam War too.
kgbofficer
They said "greatest generation" which is those born between 1910 and 1924; the ones who fought in WW2.
kgbofficer
Born after the lost generation and before the silent generation and the subsequent baby boomers.
Mantakat
Tackled all 5 at once, damn old man thats impressive
capsaicinheat
whats he got to lose? 88 is a ripe old age.
Dovaskus
You under-estimate "Old-Man Strength"
Dovaskus
My granddad could have still knocked my ass out 5 years ago - Dad'll probably be able to kick my ass for another 40.
dingofdong
The commandos really don't mess around - it was a few years before his time, but look up "the greatest raid of all" for an idea
CanadianMadCow
Then rammed a boat into their dry dock, blew it up and ran off to Spain. Oh no wait... that was the other time.
IHeartDicks
They all were wielding the same knife also.

BaconAndBoobsAndBackflips
He comes from a rougher time, back when men were men, Women were men and children were men. The only pussy in the House was the cat
Badsequence
Well he does have a huge set of brass balls so those probably helped during the tackle maneuver.
NauticalRimJob
Now I'm not saying this is totally fake, but the report was given by the old man. A neighbor heard screaming, and the girl apparently ran.
NauticalRimJob
88 year old man against 5 men, even if he was a Commando, is a feat. If not fabrication, I think this is at least a bit embellished.
