Rick Flag
The first Rick Flag led a small squadron of men in World War 2 called the Suicide Squadron. It was a disaster as only Flag survived the first mission the rest of the members dead, with this Flag's success incresed but at a price of his mortality. Soon after World War 2 Flag married Sharon Race and a few years later when the JSA dissapered Flag was called into Task Force X by the president. The Task Force had two divisons: Argent (which delt with civilian matter) and masked villains, and the second divison delt with national crisis.

Rick Flag Jr
After the first Rick Flag's death he was replaced by his now grown up son, Rick Flag Jr who was leader of a public team but one mission in Cambodia went horribly wrong as his team was pursued by a Yeti.

It was revealed that other Squad member Nightshade had feelings for him but it was never revealed to Flag. Flag also befriended Squad members Nemesis and Bronze Tiger, the whole relationship inside the squad was a complicated mess but loyalty was no object as the missions continued. In a terrible mission with a diffrent squad all members but Flag were killed thus causing Senator Clay to threaten to reveal the Suicide Squads exsistance thus causing Flag to go on a mission of his own to kill the senator although in the end it was Deadshot who shot and killed the Senator and the Squads exsistance went public.
During a mission Rick Flag set off a nuculer bomb in a Jihad stronghold, the result of the explosion: his death but this was not the end for flag.
One Year Later Rick Flag is revealed to be alive (not the result of the "retcon punch", simply his own skill) and rescued by Bronze Tiger from a secret Quarci prison after imprisonment for 4 whole years until Amanda Waller learned he was still good and well and had Tiger break him out. Later on in his epic adventure of a life Flag is transported to Skartaris with old friend turned enemy Rustam after killing Rustam and returning home it is revealed that the man who thought he was Rick Flag Jr is really a soldier named Anthony Miller who was brain washed by Wade Eiling into believing he is Rick Flag Jr. After getting rid of the implant that was keeping him brain washed Miller stays on the Squad as Rick Flag commenting that it will always need a Rick Flag.
