    4th Australian Light Horse Brigade at Beersheba, Palestine (1917) 800 Australian soldiers rode 60 miles through the searing desert to meet the Ottoman-held fortress of Beersheba from the unexpected side, which was guarded by two rows of trenches filled with Turkish riflemen and machine-guns - strengthened after two failed British assaults. Rather than dismounting and fighting as infantry per convention, the Light Horse charged into the entrenchments, slashing with 2’ Bayonets from horseback. They leapt over the trenches, each four feet wide and ten feet deep, dismounting and stabbing everyone in a brutal gorefest. It was over in less than an hour. 31 horsemen died, and 36 were wounded. They captured 750 Turks, 9 artillery pieces, 3 machine guns, and tons of other munitions and supplies. Wikipedia | Badass of the Week

    "All the lessons of history in four sentences:
    Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power.
    The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small.
    The bee fertilises the flower it robs.
    When it is dark enough, you can see the stars."

"Badass" is an adjective, applicable to people, things, an attitude, and deeds.
Badass deeds defined by magnitude, not morality - though any morality is often extreme.
