Sgt. Joe Hartsock - Any Difficulty

Joe "Red" Hartsock was born in Laramie, Wyoming, and has lived there his entire life. He married his wife Erma when they were both 21 and had a child, Carol, just before he shipped off for basic. His past is checkered with sporadic bar fights and overnight arrests. Erma did her best to calm him down over the years and did an admirable job.

All Hartsock ever wanted to do was defend his country and protect his family. He signed up for the toughest outfit he could find, the paratroopers. It was only once Hartsock got into the war and saw his friends start to die around him that he started to regret leaving his family at home in such a fragile state. Now his only goal is getting his men and himself back to home to see their families again.

"Sgt. Joe Hartsock, sir. Uh, well, everyone calls me Red"

— Hartsock to Lt.Col. S.L.A. Marshall, in reference to his nickname influenced by the color of his hair.
