Today we have a story that adds more evidence to the fact that Italy sucks militarily (as if we needed more evidence). Sir John Hawkwood was English as fuck, but got a taste for fighting Italians so he decided to keep doing it. He basically terrorized the whole country and really mastered the art of extortion. Even popes paid him to not fuck their shit up. Enjoy!
