This seems so preposterous that you might be inclined to believe it’s made up, but I assure you it’s not. Seems that there was a “general” in Liberia during one of their many civil wars who (he claims) was possessed by the devil for 20-odd years, during which time, he led his small army in the killing of 20,000 people, many if not most of whom, were innocent civilians.

Atrocious stuff, but that’s not what makes this guy so ri-goddamn-diculous. His given name is Joshua Blahyi, but he gained the name “General Butt Naked” by going into battle…wait for it…naked, save for a gun and some shoes. He convinced his entire army to do this! Although some of them opted to wear women’s clothes (?!?!) instead.

Here is a segment from his autobiography, and again, I have to stress that as horrible and crazy as this sounds, I am not making any of it up.

“So, before leading my troops into battle, we would get drunk and drugged up, sacrifice a local teenager, drink their blood, then strip down to our shoes and go into battle wearing colourful wigs and carrying dainty purses we’d looted from civilians. We’d slaughter anyone we saw, chop their heads off and use them as soccer balls. We were nude, fearless, drunk and homicidal. We killed hundreds of people — so many I lost count.”

dainty purses? what the fuck? for more info on this crazy evil bastard, HERE is the wikipedia entry.
