In regard to the Duke/Falcon as half brothers thing. I've always used them as cousins. Albeit, Duke being considerably older.
It seems strange that they were supposed to be half brothers and at the same time, in the DDP comic, Duke's mother died whilst still supposedly married to Duke's father and they wer both hippies/anti war activists. Also, why would someone raised by anti war activists join the army as a sign of duty, honour and 'the right thing to do' instead of teenage rebellion. ???
My solution's fairly simple. Duke's mom came from a career NCO military family. Her sister married a certain Green Beret called Falcone and they had at least one child called Vincent Falcone.
Despite being anti war etc, Duke's parents still wanted him to grow up knowing his mother's side of the family, despite the philosophical tensions between father and daughter. Thus, Conrad grew up learning about duty, honour and fighting for one's country from his grand father and his friends, they regaled him with their stories humorous, heroic and horrific and instilled in the young boy a deep respect for the sacrifices and nobility of going off to fight for one's country.
That's why, Duke kept turning down commissions, he always wanted to be like his grand father and his friends, a career NCO. It also explains some of the tension between Duke and Falcon. Duke was probably always the favourite and despite Falcon outranking Duke, Dukeis always the one other officers listen to first.
So in my 'verse, Falcon got his father's callsign and Duke got his grand father's. How his grandfather got the Duke nickname is anotehr story..
