Instead of fighting him, he avoided fight and watched how Hannibal's army was decimated by diseases and other problems. The Romans however were not too happy about this way, voted him out, and the new consuls fought Hannibal at Cannae, which became his biggest victory ever.

** He's not exactly badass for his pacifism--he's more of a badass for his compassion and kindly spirit. His sincere consideration for children and their education and emotional well-being has saved so many lives, if personal observation counts for anything. It's not that often that a television figure inspires hope and comfort in even the most cynical of us...

* non-directed organ donors. There are people out there who willing donate a kidney or a liver to a complete stranger, simply because that stranger would die (or live a life on dialysis) without the organ. These people get nothing in return, risk their health and even life (admittedly it's a small risk, 3% or 0.2% chance of death depending on organ) and endure physical pain, and it's not uncommon that they have to do all this while dealing with the protests of friends and family trying to talk them out of it. Not only don't they get payed for this, in the US they actually *lose* money due to having to be out of work to recover. Those that do donate can start a 'chain' of donations where a kidney recipient has a non-computable loved one that agrees to donate their kidney to another in exchange for their loved one receiving one. The longest chain of organ donations ever resulted in 11 people receiving kidneys because one person chose to help a complete stranger he never even met. Now that is Badass!
