There's a fascinating article about the old gent on Wikipedia. Among other things, he's a WW II vet. It was during WW II that he completed all four tasks required to become a war chief.

Joe Medicine Crow

I just read the article. Dude was a Grade-A, government-inspected badass.

The four things one had to do to become a war chief:
1) Touch an enemy without killing them
2) Disarm an enemy and take their weapon
3) Lead a successful war party
4) Steal an enemy’s horse.

He did all those things. He stole the horse from a battalion of German officers and, as he rode away, he sang a Crow honor song.

That there is what you call a MAN.
