This fellow is from a country run by a militaristic dictatorship on a continent in which that form of government dominates and has dominated for over a century. Some of which are monarchical and traditionalist, others are theocratic, others value a spartan militaristic ideal and harsh meritocracy, others are run by cliques of prominent industrialists, others by authoritarian socialist governments and others have other ideals. What they all have in common is that they regularly fight with each other, all of them hold grudges and all of them spend much of their economic surplus on weapons, tanks, planes and other such tools of war. Oil is common, but Uranium is absent and as such no side has been able to develop atomic weapons. His country has mandatory military service in place. The son of a common agricultural mechanic when war comes a knocking this guy is called up and required to fight. He has a basic steel helmet, utility vest army issue leggings and overshoe sandals for his uniform and is armed with a simple anti-tank rocket launcher and a low cost machine pistol for defensive purposes. He was taught the basics of soldiering in school and got two weeks of boot camp afterwards. Each 36 man platoon has one Tank Hunter assigned to it and there are specialized anti-tank squads which are composed entirely of tank hunters. The effectiveness of said rockets is not what it was thirty years ago as now all armored vehicles have at least some level of ceramic armor supplementing their steel hulls, but they can still get the lucky kill every now and again and their rockets are also useful as anti-infantry ordinance. The exchange rate of tank-hunters to tanks killed is rather steep, but tank hunters come cheap.
