John is a fiercely patriotic, yet hilariously misguided American who embodies a blend of raw aggression and absurdity. Self-taught in the ways of combat, he fought in World War II by traveling to Europe on his own, long after the war had ended. Equipped with a rocket launcher and clad in a helmet and combat gear, the Soldier is known for his explosive playstyle, booming voice, and relentless pursuit of victory, often punctuated by grandiose speeches and a complete disregard for the rules of war.
