Named after Colonel Kilgore in Apocalypse Now, though you'd be forgiven for thinking it's a pun on "Kill-Gore" we made. Examples of Colonel Kilgore include:

He runs into battle with a smile on his face and seems sad that the war has to end someday. Named after Colonel Kilgore in Apocalypse Now, though you'd be forgiven for thinking it's a pun on "Kill-Gore" we made. This trope is the intersection of Blood Knight with Colonel Badass.
