He strongly believes in “No Man Left Behind” and has become a one-man extraction team. While most combat troops try to dress in camouflage, Sgt. Flag drapes himself in the colors of the flag to stand out and be seen by the troops he is trying to save. Sgt. Flag is the Hammer of Justice. When you need a hammer, he is there to save your ass.
