Agreed.
The main problem is that Duke didn't get much development. Sure, he's got a lot of time on the screen, but always shared with other characters.
On this movie, Duke seems to be more the kind of silent hero. The one that doesn't care a s#it about being nice or funny, he simply do his job, that coupled with little development, makes him look cold.
Of course...this is "the rise of
Cobra"
after all, they got more development as characters

As a Star Trek hater, i have to admit the movie was pretty good.
But i wanted to punch Kirk.

Yeah. Too much of an a$$hole.
But in the end he's more or less (with obvious differences) like Duke.
Not really interested to be regarded as cool, he simply do his job.

No.
I doesn't matters much neither...it's not like it's a realistic army movie ;)
In any case, the movie had a lot of editing. Cut scenes, swap seconds, and you'll mess it up.
Just look how HD seems to switch his earring from one ear to another, or how suits and vests change from one point of view to another.
