Doc is an avowed pacifist but never backed down from a challenge. When he heard about G.I. Joe, he enlisted in the Army hoping to be on the team. He was told that the Army made no such deals. That didn't stop Doc. He went on with his training and did all he can to get on the Joe Team. It is his belief that the Joe Team is the country's best weapon against terror and that even they need a man who's willing to go into the field when the going gets rough and the chips are down and patch them back up.
