If I have to be a hobo, then I'd be a Mack Bolan hobo.

so where is his house when he's flying all around the world? Every month he's in a new location kicking new ass. Maybe he's got a house somewhere, where he keeps his stuff and parks the war wagon. But what do you think's going on when he's out there doing the California Crush or a Boston Blitz or a Caribbean Kill? He's not checking into a motel is he? He is a living like a hobo, cooking off of cans and using 27 blankets to make a crappy barely held together sleeping bag. Don Pendleton just didn't go into the minor details. There is a lot of subtlety in his writing.

I'd like to see him and Reacher team up. Or fight. One of the two.

Tom Cruise would lose for sure. It would be a Scientology Slam.

:lol:

I would love a show if they did it all straight from the original books with no update to modernize it.

I'm reading the Mack Bolan bio on Wiki and I forgot how damn dark this was :lol:


During Bolan's second tour, his father suffered a heart attack that forced him to leave his job at the steel mill. Unable to work, with bills piling up, Bolan's father was forced to borrow money from Triangle Industrial Finance ("TIF"), a savings-and-loan outfit known around town as a loansharking operation controlled by the family of Don Sergio Frenchi, the godfather of the Mafia in western Massachusetts. The people at TIF caused the elder Bolan countless problems with their payment demands. On one occasion, their enforcers dislocated his arm as punishment for missing one loan payment, warning him that the same arm would be broken if he missed another.[2]

Mack Bolan's younger sister, Cindy Bolan, was worried about their father's safety and had secretly paid the officers at TIF a visit, in an attempt to persuade them to leave her father alone and allow her to repay the loan. In her first attempt, she turned in $35 a week, money she made from an after school job. When it became insufficient, TIF "suggested" she become a prostitute.

Johnny Bolan, Mack's younger brother, learned about it from a schoolmate who taunted him about it, resulting in a fight that Johnny lost. When Johnny found Cindy servicing a client in a motel room, he blew the whistle to his father ... an act that resulted in the elder Bolan's striking him. When Cindy's father confronted her, she admitted to her work, expressing her fear for his health and welfare.

For Sam Bolan, it was too much. He snapped and turned a Smith & Wesson .45 on his family and then himself. Johnny Bolan was the only survivor of the murder-suicide.

A few days later, Bolan was notified of the tragedy by an Army chaplain and took emergency leave to visit his brother. After Johnny told him the whole story, Bolan broke into a sportsman's shop and took a high-powered Marlin .444, a deluxe scope, some targets, and several boxes of ammunition, leaving an envelope of money to cover the "purchase". He would use the rifle to kill the TIF loansharks, marking the beginning of his war against the Mafia.


So his sister became a High School Hooker after their dad borrowed money from loan sharks. And then the dad had enough and killed the entire family and himself in a murder-suicide. Except for a little Johnny who managed to survive and actually cause of the whole damn thing by telling the dad. I hope the mafia at least kills little Johnny at some point.

No matter which way you want to slice it, the Bolans sound pretty damn shady.
