Ben Wilson, Military Hero
(And Owner of BRASS BALLS)

Do you know the story of Ben Wilson?

Wilson earned a Medal of Honor, a Purple Heart, and the Distinguished Service Cross during his time in the military.

He served in WWII and the Korean War, rising to the rank of First Sergeant.

At "Hell Hill" near Hwacheon Dam in Korea, he continued fighting while his men retreated from North Korean counterattack.

Losing his rifle in the fighting, he took out his entrenching tool...

...and killed 4 MEN with the sharpened edge of the shovel!

 

The military has long recognized just how effective this weapon can be, but not as a shovel by itself.

Instead, in their combatives manuals through the years, they've just listed it as one of many objects you an use to fight with the SAME WAY.

In other words, it's not that the military ever saw the e-tool as a "primary close quarters weapon."

But they DID understand that guns jam... break... and run out of bullets.

When that happens, you NEED a backup weapon that will keep you alive while destroying the enemy.

The military also understood that soldiers need TRAINING to use weapons.

That could be your "body weapons" (a.k.a. "close-quarters combatives")... your bayonet knife... or even your frickin' SHOVEL.
