From Wikipedia;

Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Cobra Commander. USA Today reported Cobra Commander is a multiple role.[5] Levitt wore a mask – which was redesigned from the comics because the crew found it too reminiscent of the Ku Klux Klan – and prosthetic makeup underneath.

Uhm...ok, guys...but he's SUPPOSED to be the bad guy! Why don't we cut out the Vipers and the Iron Grenadiers because they remind us too much of Nazi Stormtroopers! And Let's cut out Zartan because he reminds us of Osama Bin Laden?

Ever notice no one bitched that Norsefire in "V for Vendetta" looked too much like Nazis? Or that the Tetra-Grammaton in "Equilbrium" did the same? That's the whole point! Dress these guys SIMILAR to villians of the past and we can "feel" distain and disgust towards them before they even speak a word!

Did anyone show Steven Sommers the pics of Cobra Commander in his helmet or Battle helmet?

Oh, FYI;
