Joe Medicine Crow - The Last War Chief...
Legendary status...
Native American, Joseph Medicine Crow from Montana, was fighting in WWIl when he completed the four tasks required to become a war chief:
He touched an enemy without killing him
He took an enemy's weapon
He led a successful war party
He stole 50 horses from a German camp
Yep, dude was so overpowered that he was just casually completing side quests in the middle of a world war…
Same family, Another ‘War Chief’…
As introduced above, the guy at the top of the meme (Joe Medicine Crow) is know as the last war chief since among the requirements to a be a war chief involves horses. And as technology advances, horses are now obsolete war tools.
But that didn’t stop his nephew (Carson Walks Over Ice) from doing all the requirements for becoming a war chief but he used elephants instead horses. Yes, dude stole two freaking elephants.
After submitting his accomplishments to the council, they denied his request since elephants aren’t horses. Which because of the way they were being used, in my opinion, should also have been counted…
Bureaucrats… Even tribal societies has to suffer them apparently. But hey, we won’t rewrite history…
All this is explained in more details in this great video (story starts around 1:41):
I believe if history was taught like this in schools, kids would be way more into it. Isn’t it?
Here’s a more historical video with some interview of the last war chief:
Anyway:
Becoming a Warchief is impressive.
Becoming a Dr is impressive.
Being Knighted is impressive.
The fact that Warchief Sir Dr. Joe Medicine Crow managed to get that hat trick in WWII is a legendary feat…

The title "Sir Keir Starmer" proves "Being Knighted is impressive." is incorrect.
