I was reading some filecards and some other collector's opinions online and it got me thinking about Destro and his so-called "Code Of Honor".

Here is MY opinion-if yours is different,post it!

Destro sends Iron Grenadiers into troubled parts of the world,dressed as terrorists.They foment hostilities so MARS can sell weapons to both sides,and Destro "rents" uniformed Iron Grenadiers as advisors to whichever side can afford them.

In my opinion,this is as far from "honorable" behavior as you can get.I know that Destro believes that war is Mankind's "natural state"-that the strong are winnowed from the weak..........but imagine the suffering and waste he causes!

It reminds me of the Star Trek episode "The Savage Curtain". Abraham Lincoln has a great line here:"There is no honorable way to kill,no gentle way to destroy.There is nothing good in war except it's ending." I believe that a similar idea is what drives the GI Joe Team-to love the end but despise the means-and that Destro is deluding himself.

What do YOU think?
