Yanno,
those hosers who pretend they were warriors.
I blame Shakespeare -
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
The last four lines are the poseur's motivation. Clearly, they've been around a while.
And yes, today is St. Crispin's Day...
