82, I think:
Code Name: Mole Rat
File Name: Various
Primary Military Specialty: Infantry
Secondary Military Specialty: Sabotage
Birthplace: Various
Rank: Trooper Rank 0 (E-1 equivalent)
The official Lewis administration line is that the Mole Rat Corps does not exist. It is simply a rumor started by President Lewis's political enemies to accuse him of worker exploitation, environmental crimes, and other ridiculous claims that are unfounded and quite frankly, beneath the dignity of the office to discuss. Unofficially, the Mole Rats are a combination of low-ranking Cobra troopers who have demonstrated a lack of skill in other areas but a willingness to take on the worst of assignments supplemented by the occasional exploited labor force Lewis maintains to seek out new resources to exploit either for weaponization or profit. A recent dig, however, resulted in the worst biological disaster the Mole Rat Corps has ever encountered, and the men have had to be quarantined while the chemical they were exposed to is studied. According to initial reports via Dr. Mindbender, the chemical appears to make the men both increasingly pliable mentally but also far more durable physically, creating a kind of dim-witted but useful military resource. Long-term effects of the chemical remain unconfirmed, however.
"I've seen some awful stuff in my time. Chemical weapons that burn away skin and melts eyeballs right out of your skull. Stuff that will poison your family line for three generations. The Geneva Convention only applies to people who aren't powerful enough to ignore it, and now that Lewis is President of the United States, that's what he is. But he didn't make the stuff that turned those Mole Rat troopers into whatever they are now. I've never seen anything like it. You know I'm not a superstitious guy. I think everything has a logical answer. Low-Light and I saw it through our scopes that night, this glowing purple gas burbling up from the earth. We heard the men screaming. Then we heard their bones snapping and reshaping, could hear their flesh straining as clumps of... crystal? I don't know what it was, but it grew out of their skin. It was like someone cut clips from that Chernobyl show with scenes from the Thing. We threw our gas masks on and ran for the hills, man. I don't even think the masks would have done anything. I'll hear those screams til the day I die. But what was worse was after the screaming. The silence. And then the slow shuffling of footsteps..."
