BAMBO
A former Vietnam veteran and highly skilled Green Beret, Bambo returned from the war as a decorated, but disturbed hero. He is filled with self-loathing and hates killing, but is willing to use his skills to protect those close to him.
In late 1969, Bambo was re-deployed to Vietnam as a member of a SOG brigade. He became part of a Special Forces Long-range reconnaissance patrol unit commanded by Colonel Trautman. Trautman's team received the code name of Baker Team and usually consisted of eight men.
During a mission in November 1971 Bambo's unit came under surprise attack by NVA forces. Delmar, Bambo, and some other surviving members were captured by North Vietnamese forces near the Chinese-Vietnamese border and held at a POW camp, where many other American POWs were imprisoned and repeatedly tortured. Bambo's unit was decimated during the ordeal, but Delmar and Bambo managed to escape captivity in May 1972, and Bambo was immediately re-deployed at his own request.
