King Arthur dressed himself as a commoner to find out how to better serve his people. JOSEPH LEZAMA did the same. He surrendered his rank as General of the U.S. Armed Forces to undertake the mission of repairing the worst U.S. military base in the world; ole' Camp Swampy. He first took the time to go home and say good bye to his family and friends, to cut all ties, because laws of thermodynamics prove that if there isn't any closure in relationships, life will provide the way. His mission would keep him busy, perhaps a lifetime of occupation. He wasn't planning on coming back.
