And now, America has taken up that role. We are the most powerful fighting force in the world. Every fight is our fight. Every war is our war. It is our God-given right, our obligation to mankind to spread our values of human freedom and democracy to all the world, to all the oppressed peoples in every nation. Until that the day we are no longer the most powerful, that is our duty as the world's strongest military. And I won't sit back and let pansy-ass politicians keep us from doing that.*

Counterinsurgency Warfare

**Bradley Jericho** is a four-star General for the U.S. Army and currently the highest-ranking officer of what's left of the U.S. Military (discounting the Remnants, who Jericho sees as renegades). A hero of Vietnam, Grenada, and countless other conflicts throughout the Cold War, Jericho earned the nickname of "The Wall" for his stoic and determined demeanor on the battlefield, and as a nod to his last name.

Later, he graduated from West Point, and became popular among frontline soldiers during Iraq and Afghanistan for his frequent visits to isolated and often constantly attacked military bases. He rarely wore his officer's coat on such occasions and would raise morale by partaking in "war games" with his soldiers. His skill at counter-insurgency warfare, a byproduct of his experiences in Vietnam, Jericho was vital in multiple conflicts across the 21st century, and his out-of-box thinking was vital as a consultant for DARPA.

Jericho was one of the very surviving members of U.S. military high command and traveled to the Raven's Rock Complex where a handful of surviving politicians were waiting out in the virus in relative luxury. Having grown disillusioned with the government following the end of Iraq War, when Jericho was contacted by Agent "Pangloss" of the True Sons, Jericho agreed to throw his support behind the New England Republic, and bring as many of his soldiers on board as he could.

After the nuclear destruction of Raven Rock by the True Sons, General Jericho was one of the 25 supporters chosen to be sent to New Philadelphia to sign the Succession Accords. After the Accords were finalized, it was revealed that a secret clause had given Skyler Brooks the power to reform the NER into the New American Empire, an event that was met with thunderous applause from her supporters and fear from the international community, who saw the True Sons and the newly formed Empire as a threat.

Unlike some of the others, Jericho was a loud supporter of the regime change. As a reward for his loyalty, Jericho took a position in development of advanced armored warfare vehicles, even having a major role in the creation of the rail-gun tank KV-85 "Reckoning" and delivering an address during its reveal.

## Profile

Bradley Jericho is undoubtly a child of the Cold War era American ideology. His father James was a WW2 Colonel, a close friend of General Patton, and a staunch advocate for Operation Unthinkable, the planned invasion of the Soviet Union following the end of World War 2. He taught Bradley that the United States was a shining city on a hill, pre-ordained by God to bring democracy, freedom, and liberty to all the world, by force if necessary.
