Badass WWII Vet of the Day: Earl Jones, a 92-year-old World War II vet from Verona, KY, only needed a single shot from his .22-caliber rifle to take down an intruder at 2 a.m. Monday. “I aimed right for his heart,” said Jones, who served from 1941-46. “I didn’t go to war for nothing.”When 24-year-old Lloyd Maxwell and two accomplices burst into Jones’ living room through the basement, it was the third break-in at Jones’ home this year. He was waiting for them in a chair across the room. “Was I scared? Was I mad? Hell, no,” Jones said. “It was simple. That man was going to take my life. He was hunting me. I was protecting myself.” [gawker]
See you don’t need a large caliber if you’ve got good aim.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9y3as4wuc1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)
