Who is your Idol?

Hey guys, who is your idol? Who do you admire the most?

For me, it would be
1) My Grandad
2) My Cousin Brad
3) John Wayne



(I have that pic framed in my room, haha)
4) LtGen. Burwell "Chesty" Puller



and
5) Frank Sinatra

Garrus from Mass Effect....
He is an ex cop bringing vigilante justice to all!

myself i love me! i look up to me! i want to be just like me! but in all seriousness, my dad is a big idol for me, former force-recon and now a navy chaplain (strange transition don't you think? haha) he has been a major influence in my life, so thats why he is my idol

Haha Garrus Vakarian. Nice, man!

I'd have to say:
Captain Jean Luc Pickard for his combination of logic, neutrality, and justice.

and Daft Punk for their powerful sound and their genius at the turntables.

Mine would be My Dad mostly because he gets stuff done.

Another would be Capt. Price

My dad takes the cake...

and in second would be my cousin, Ryan Ahern. ex Stagff Sargent in the 101st (!!!!!, honorable discharge) he will be a movie star soon.....

Do you know what he'll be starring in?
____

Hmm... Idols.. Idols.... I really don't know.. OH I HAVE ONE! Neil Peart, drummer & percussionist for Rush. A drumgod.


And another would be Paul Gray, the bassist for Slipknot. Truly badass.

The drum kit in that pic is a tad excessive. I much prefer a minimalist approach to drums. Do more with less. There's no way he would need every piece of that kit in one concert.

But he uses it

But you're right, he doesn't need every piece to play a song, he still excels with a 4 or 5 piece kit. It's just cool that he can make the sounds he does using all those pieces and still hold everything together.

He follows Keith Moons playing style, No matter where he turns or what he is doing, he can continue to play and hold down the beat.




Why would anyone have a cross dresser as a Idol ?

Drummer....i will tell later....i need to ask my mom....

In all seriousness, I have two Idols.

and Randy Shughart
http://www.americanpatriotseries.com/stories/images/US_Army_SFC_Randall_Shughart_with_medal_of_honor.jpg
who VOLUNTARILY gave their lives for Mke Durant, A US BlackHawk pilot who went down over mogadishu. You can't EVER, POSSIBLY ask something like that of a human being, yet they voluntarily went in to try to save him, almost knowing they wouldn't make it out. They had to try, it was in their nature.
Listen, I could go on and on about this, but long story short, thanks to their efforts, Durant was CAPTURED, but survived and released 11 days later.
READ Mike Durants book, in the company of Heroes. OUTSTANDING book, and at the end, there's a picture of him driving his boat on a lake, with his son, Joey, on his shoulders, and under it it says "The realization of a dream."
What these two men gave to this one man can't be measured in any way. It's just simply amazing.
They gave him his life back, and they gave his son Joey their father back.

Oh and for those of you who have seen Blackhawk Down and are curious for actual numbers.... Well, near the end, Randy, by himself, got over 25 confirmed kills. He did some "Watch your language" fine shooting that day.

NCIS is my idol.
Such perseverance, persistence, and drive.

The model griefer.
Servo res a douche, amicus.

All joking aside, my uncle.
Just a really cool guy. Seems to have his life zeroed in.
He's the kind of man I want to become.
