Time for a new Leander McNelly. He was a legendary Texas Ranger Captain who famously led his small company of 12 Rangers across the Rio Grande to attack hundreds of rustlers who were nominally part of the Mexican army under Generals Juan Cortina and Juan Salinas.

McNelly asked for no quarter nor gave it. His recorded orders before one fight against the bandits was: “Don’t shoot to the left or the right. Shoot straight ahead. And don’t shoot till you’ve got your target good in your sights. Don’t walk up on a wounded man. Pay no attention to a white flag. That’s a mean trick bandits use on green-hands. Don’t touch a dead man, except to identify him.”

Someone needs to make a movie about him. Of course, it would not be appealing to our metrosexual fellow countrymen.
