Didn't it used to be an extra ration of cigarettes, hooch and hookers before the few and the proud went off to kill and be killed? Just askin'. I will most certainly be writing that book based upon my research and observation of the wholly bizarre post Post-Modern resurgence of the love of all things barbarian and gladiatorial. In fact, do me a favor ... pay attention in popular media, and see if you can't see what I've been seeing for a very long time. I could use some observant stringers. The pay sucks, though. Consider it a labor of love.
