==Biography==
===Early Life===
Polonsky was born in 1926 or 1927, possibly in New York due to him mentioning that his mother is in Queens. In the height of World War II, Polonsky enlisted into the United States Marine Corps, and later became a member of the 1st Marine Division.
===Pacific Campaign===
In September of 1944, Polonsky was part of a Marine unit under the command of Sergeant Tom Sullivan, who was leading his men to push the Japanese defenses on Peleliu. Polonsky, Miller, Roebuck and Sullivan managed to push the Japanese's defense and clear out motor teams, but Sullivan was killed by a Banzai charger. After his death, Roebuck was promoted to squad leader, and led his squad in taking the Peleliu airfield. The squad comes across a F4U Corsair that was shot down, and Roebuck tasks one of his men to rescue the pilot. The soldier discovered that it was booby trap set by the Japanese, who proceed to come out of the forest to attack them.
Polonsky is disgusted by their trap, and continues to fight against the Japanese and succeeds in taking the airfield. The marines are then assaulted by a Japanese convoy, and manage to hold out until U.S. fighters provide air support. Polonsky then goes on with the squad in burning out Japanese trenches, and taking out a Japanese motor crews. The private then goes on taking the rest of Peleliu, and later going on the island, Okinawa. After the assault on Wana Ridge, Polonsky complains to Major Gordon about the Marines' lack of supplies while Roebuck and Miller help load wounded marines into a truck.
Polonsky and the squad do receive ammunition supplies, but are ambushed by the Japanese when collecting it. He participates in the assault on Shuri Castle with the squad, and battle numerous Japanese forces. Near the end, the group come across Japanese soldiers surrendering to the squad, which turns out to be a trick. If the player saves Roebuck, Polonsky will be killed by Japanese soldiers with grenades. Roebuck will mourn his death, and help Miller hold their position with air support. The sergeant then goes to claim Polonsky's dog tags, and gives them to Miller while his monologue is heard.
If the player saves Polonsky, Roebuck will be killed, and Polonsky will mourn his death while cursing. Polonsky will be promoted to corporal, and swears vengeance against the Japanese. Polonsky then helps Miller maintain their position, and also receives U.S. air support. At the end of the battle, Polonsky gives Miller Roebuck's dog tags, as Roebuck's monologue can be heard.
