Not that intelligente when he figure out that the war ended in 1945 and he have been there 30 years..
Since when did "intelligent" and "frikkin' badass" go hand in hand?
Badasses are often the definition of "crazy" - the kind of guys you would laugh at if they were stuck to civilian life.
And the blamed the Americans for finishing the war too soon. He wanted MOAR. Kudos for him.
God, I would have liked to see him go up against that Japanese squad who played guerillas on the Phillipines for around twenty years after '45! Probably did it because they just like Crazy Jack would accept the fact that the **** was over. Crazyhead, old-school warriors living and breathing only for combat, fighting an epic jungle-battle with Claymores and Katanas!

In any case. The first guy I'd like to mention is the Stuka Ace of Aces, probably the most death-dealing combat pilot in military history:
Hans-Ulrich Rudel, most decorated German serviceman of the war. "Airman" rather than "soldier", but looking at his achievements makes you believe that the bastard could have pulled of anything. Over 2500 combat missions (world record, by far), destroying 800 vehicles, 519 tanks, 150 artillery pieces, a destroyer, two cruisers, one Soviet battleship (!), 70 landing craft, 4 armored trains, several bridges and nine aircraft which he shot down (with a Stuka divebomber, that is - not really a fighter aircraft).
Oh, and when shot down one time I read he had to cross several miles of enemy territory, crossing at least one river... in the Russian winter... barefoot.
During one mission he lost one of his legs. Well, he kept flying! And not only that - after the war he managed to climb the largest volcano in South America - with one leg.
The guy was the only one who was awarded the highest rank of the Knights cross, a medal with the crazy "Pimp my Ride"-ey designation
Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Golden Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds. Guess they basically invented that rank just because of Rudel ("**** the guy did something awesome again but already have five Knights Crosses with gold, swords and whatnot... throw in some diamonds there aswell to make him happy")
Leaving Rudel behind, there is Simo H
