I didn't get to check this story out until the digests years after it was published. Back then, the robot didn't seem out of place or geeked or lame. BUT now, man... The robot is pretty lame. Or at least, the 80s rendition of a hi-tech, laser blasting, fire resistent robot is lame. But what this story really does is help show us the original Joes in action. Let's face, there's a huge nostaligia factor for the original 13 before it gets watered down. In a way, the 1st issues of GI Joe are all about the team and it was way exciting to read these over and over. I enjoyed the humor and for me, I saw a side of Steeler I didn't know about! The whole Chaplain's get together was in good fun.
