BadAss of the week:
Albert Jacka
As the title states this Badass is from Australia...and there's more to
Jacka than him just tossing another shrimp on the barbi!!
Last Monday, April 25, was ANZAC Day – a day we here in the United States all know and love and celebrate by running around in the streets and drinking beer brewed to look like the Union Jack. And, as we here in the U.S. all learn dating back to elementary school, ANZAC stands for the Australian/New Zealand Annual Conference, a magical happy time when delegates and badasses and other qualified people from the British Commonwealth nations of Oceana all get together to talk about terribly important things of mutual relevance, world-changing ideas like crippling rugby injuries and the proper care and maintenance of indigenous dingo populations. So, in honor of my good friends on the opposite side of the world, I've chosen to observe ANZAC Day (a full four days after everybody else has already forgotten about it) by dedicating this week's article to the most widely-revered war hero in the prestigious badass history of Dark Continent – World War I Victoria Cross recipient Albert Jacka, the first Australian to ever be awarded the United Kingdom's highest award for military asskicking in a live-fire situation.
