The person I received it from is also a reenactor in the same timeperiod I do... 16th Century Germanic Mercenaries: The Landschnekts.
It's been my pasttime for almost a decade, and his for almost two. One of the running jokes (accurate to the period, and found intact in a letter preserved in a museum) is:
What do you get when a French King goes to war?
A Prisoner!
This was simply an extension of that. I wasn't aware of the '10 minute hate' you mentioned until about an hour ago. I don't generally watch the news; I consider it to be entirely too profit biased and untrustable.
