His men respected him greatly and would follow any command, not because they had to, but because they wanted to. He inspired his men. He was their leader, hero, and father-figure. During a raid on a Nazi outpost, Joseph was injured and near death. The medics stabilized him as best they could. His men found a doctor. He patched up Joseph as best he could, telling his men there is nothing he could do to save his life. He was approached by a government scientist with a top secret formula. He was offered his health restored, and more, in exchange for top secret government service. He agreed and the drugs that would save his life were administered. His body began to heal within minutes, and was completely healed within a couple of days. Over the next several weeks, his individual cells were reverted back to their peak condition. Though in his late 50\u2019s, he appeared to be in his twenties. He later returned to the battlefield as the American General, and continued, with his men, through the end of the war. He then became a government agent during the Cold War involved in top secret and other work. He has been serving in this capacity ever since."@en . "American General"@en . . "Marz Workman"@en .
