HISTORY

Jake Claymore was a US Marine serving with Rob McFarlane & Sam Williams. At the end of the Afghanistan War, both Rob McFarlane & Sam William had rotated stateside and Jake stayed until the last American unit left. When the Afghani interpreters and their families had trouble getting to the evacuation points. Jake took a group of Marines back into Afghanistan to rescue them, however, they failed to return to the extraction point before the final flight out. He watched as the US Air Force C-17 departed at 11:59 p.m. (Kabul time) on 30 August. Jake was trapped in Afghanistan, his interpreter captured and beheaded. The interpreter’s family was killed and while he eventually made it out of Afghanistan he resented being left behind. He decided the US government no longer deserved his support and he declared a personal war on the US government. To support himself and his new mission he became a soldier of fortune, fighting foreign wars, to fund his battle against America.
