Joshua Milton Blahyi (born September 30, 1971), better known by his nom de guerre General Butt Naked, is a former leader for the Liberian warlord
Roosevelt Johnson[1] in the First Liberian Civil War known for his fierce, violent, and eccentric measures in the first years of the 1990s. He was
originally a tribal priest, and since the war he has converted to Christianity and become a preacher. I watched a documentary called redemption of
general butt naked and was compelled to start a thread about this man. He has done some terrible things during the Liberian civil war. He said he was
responsible for about 20000 deaths. Probably exaggerated a bit but his life Is an interesting one. He commanded a child soldier brigade that tore
apart villages of innocent people for no reason. He admitted using children as fighters because according to him they havent started thinking about
their future. I can't give any links as I'm on my cell but look him up if this interests you. He got his name for fighting naked except for shoes and
an ak47. His soldiers also faught butt naked. They relied heavily on African ju ju and many thought bullets could not harm them while naked. He
disappeared when the war was dying down and he is now a preacher and he even visits some of his victims. Has anyone seen the documentary? Feel free to
share your thoughts on this man and his terrible actions or his new life. However nothing can bring back the lives he has taken. Including the
children that faught in the war at his command.
