His whole squad gone but him but he was severely injured as one of his squad members blew up in his face. He was rescued and sent home. After some time being at home he was able to walk and do stuff on his own, but a couple of weeks later he started having flashbacks to were his friends got blow up and flashbacks of what happened on the battle field.
