Rock 'N Roll

Rock ‘N Roll is a perfect example of a man who doesn't care. A veteran of many wars, a surfer's life sacrificed for Uncle Sam, and an itchy finger to restart his old rock band means Rock ‘N Roll just doesn't care what his superiors say. He doesn't report for any meetings other than mission briefs and he rarely follows orders on the battlefield. He says he just "follows his gun" when in battle and he always comes through. Any other soldier in any other branch of the armed forces would be punished for not following orders until he finally worked his way to dishonorable discharge but, Rock ‘N Roll is good at what he does.

General Hawk knows there is no reasoning with Rock ‘N Roll. A discharge would just mean a very valuable heavy gunner would become an old beach bum playing guitar around a campfire living out of a Volkswagen Microbus. So Hawk put him in the only unit he knew would keep anyone higher than himself from questioning Rock ‘N Roll's actions.
