Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Hammer's Slammers is a series of Military Science-Fiction short stories and novellas written by David Drake, based loosely off of various historical models and his time in the 11th Armored Cavalry during the Vietnam War.The Slammers are a futuristic mercenary group under the command of Colonel Alois Hammer, who leads the toughest mercs who ever killed for a dollar. According to Word of God, partly based on the French Foreign Legion in the 1950s, when that service had a large proportion of former SS in its ranks, but also loosely based on the Vietnam-Era 11th Armored Cavalry regiment (with whom Drake served in Vietnam and Cambodia), with fusion-powered hovercraft "panzers" replacing 20th century tanks and smaller combat cars replacing M113 cavalry vehicles. | |

| Hammer's Slammers / int_5deb34da | comment |
Ace Pilot: Slick Des Grieux and Luke Broglie from The Warrior definitely qualify. Broglie is also The Ace, while Des Grieux is is not. Word of God says that their rivalry is based on Hector and Achilles. | |

Appropriate considering the same description applies to Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, the badass Prussian drillmaster of the Continental Army during the American Revolution who is thought to have been gay. | |

Agent Peacock: Major Steuben is almost Camp Gay in regards to his attention to personal appearance and behavior most of the time, but woe betide anyone who crosses him or Alois Hammer. Appropriate considering the same description applies to Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, the badass Prussian drillmaster of the Continental Army during the American Revolution who is thought to have been gay. | |
