Arthur Wermuth: The Ghost of Bataan

One man American Army, killed over 100 Japanese
When a football star from South Dakoda was drafted into WW2 and sent to the Phillipines, the Japanese had no idea that their worst nightmare had just arrived. In charge of a Filipino sniper group, he snuck behind enemy lines and started killing Japanese wholesale. He destroyed bridges, wiped out entire platoons of soldiers, was wounded 4 times by being shot, stabbed twice, had his thumb nearly cut off, and finally shot in the lung and hitting his head on a boulder. He survived the war by surviving two shipwrecks, prison camps, beatings, and the Bataan Death March. After the war he became a sheriff and arrested L. Ron Hubbard for practicing medicine without a license. This is an extraordinary tale about a man who would not quit even when he body did. Valor is in you. Set it free. (If Hollywood is looking for any amazing scripts, this guy is a gold mine)
