General Butt Naked

Joshua Milton Blahyi, who is better known as General Butt Naked, is a former warlord of the First Liberian Civil War. Blahyi claims that he became a high priest in a secret society at a young age. He said that during his priesthood, he would receive visions of children meant to be sacrificed. He would regularly conduct abductions of the children sent to him in his visions, and practice human sacrifice. This claim, however, is disputed by his half-brother, who instead says that Blahyi spent his early years selling "Kool-Aid and Chicken" at a local market, before getting himself involved in drug trafficking and robberies. Fast forward to 1993 during the First Liberian Civil War. Blahyi has become a warlord and formed his own militia of around 40 fighters known as the "Naked Base Commandos". Most of his fighters where between the ages of nine and eighteen. Blahyi funded his militia by selling locally mined diamonds to Mexican drug cartels, in exchange for weapons and cocaine. He kept morale up by lacing his militia's food with cocaine and playing multiple Jean-Claude Van Damme films, expressing to his men that killing people was a game. During conflict, Blahyi and his men would charge into combat only wearing combat boots and "magic charms" which they believed made them "immune to bullets". Picture 40, Butt Naked soldiers with AK-47's, high on cocaine, charging at you! Blahyi claims that over the course of 3 years, him and his men where responsible for 20,000 deaths (about 10% of the war's entire death toll). This number is obviously highly contested and criticized. Still alive today, Joshua Milton Blahyi is now a Liberian preacher and philanthropist. The major life change coming after he reportedly experienced a vision of Jesus Christ.
