A business giant like Hasbro is not going to associate itself with any recent conflict when we're knee deep in war and the public for the most part is against it.
Yeah, they were written about 6+ years after the end of Viet Nam.
I agree, that's probably why there is no association with the war. Today's climate is different and there's more politics involved.
Sad to say, but you know if there was some reference to Duke's involvement in the Iraq war, Desert Storm, Afghanistan or Somalia there would be people up in arms about it.
"War toy glorifies Bush's meaningless war" or something stupid like that.
Still doesn't explain why they can't give schooling and qualifications like they used to. Instead we get "Duke's a good leader".
Bah. What crap....
