I LOVE this guy's books, but I seldom here him discussed around here! I would be interested in other people's opinions about him. I knew some guys like him in the Army, way back. Not much to look at, not that intimidating, but damn they could lay some woop-ass!
One guy in particular: I don't know if he was just booze fueled or what. He was smaller then me, and I saw him literally throw himself into a crowd of navy guys and fight several people at once. Kept on getting hit, with bottles, pool cues, fists, feet, and kept getting up. it was like the pain meant nothing to him. He was fighting with minimal flourish, just solid meat and potatoes style brawling. The Navy guys basically ran. Afterword, he looked at some of us like he did not know us, and was still "on". I was scared. Luckily he was our friend. He had told me he had spent a few years as a bouncer, and was from the deep south. He looked like marc MacYoung
