The 369th Infantry, a segregated African-American unit that served in WW1 with great distinction under French command. They got the nickname due to their extended stay in the trenches, with a reputation for aggressive behavior and bravery in the face of the enemy. They were highly decorated by both the French and the US.

Dude's the litteral definition for gentle giant.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

He looks pretty normal sized...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

He has broad shoulders and big hands, and that probably makes him look a bit bigger considering the loose-fitting uniform.

Maybe but definetly not average . Also there really are no giants in our world (even tho that would've been interesting) so if you wanna use that sayin you gotta say it somewhere.

That's a displacer puppy.

Man, there is so much pain in the eyes of those men. It's impossible for me to view this photo and not wonder about the horrors viewed through those eyes.

This dude really looks like someone you would not want to fuck with.
