However, he lost faith in his country when he witnessed the debauchery committed by his superiors, whose arrogance plunged the world into nuclear war.. After surviving the apocalypse, the Colonel and his men believed they were chosen by God and aimed to repopulate the world with their own master race which would correct the mistakes of the past.
