Ok, does this debate have to get to who got more underoos made with his face on them in the '80's before we see how ridiculous it is getting? LOL!

Can we all agree on this;

1.) Hasbro has Duke engrained in the public Psyche as "GI Joe", reguardless of whether we like or hate him, thus, he's not goin away? ( And...Even though Joe Colton is Technically "GI Joe").

2.) A First Sergeant is the ENLISTED advisor to the Commanding Officer, not the Second in Command (that is Technically the XO) so if Duke WERE to buy it, he would need an Enlisted man to step up into his billet! (I think Stalker should become first Shirt, but that's MY OPINION.) ?

3.) Love him or hate him, Duke is (Like Snake Eyes) OVER EXPOSED.?

Can we agree on that much, at least? LOL!

You're all entitled to your opinions....no matter how wrong you all may be!
;)


(liked that Parting shot...didn't cha?)

agree . Duke is (Like Snake Eyes) OVER EXPOSED.?
but you know something, it was one hell of a battle. :D

I agree w/ almost everything Frankster said. Except, from what I gathered from the original comic, Duke was brought in to kick booty in GI Joe ranks. His rank really had nothing do w/ the overall scheme. Hawk looked for the best man he could and he found Duke. 1st sgt, Lt, whatever... Duke had what it took. That's how I see the comic Duke.

Cartoon Duke... Uhmmmmmm...
