As a kid I thought this was all about being nice. Now I think Ace is being a bit creepy, hanging out at the hospital and buying toys for someone else's kid, which would be fine if they were close friends but given the way they talk . . .
Anyway, now I think there's an unintended message about the difference between the discipline, structure, and logistical/maintenance schedules that come with professional armed forces in general, and those maintaining flight certifications in particular; and the lack of institutional discipline, logistics, and maintenance structures of private military companies, which is basically what Cobra is.

This is in the span of like 8 issues. Dude, how about delegating the duties a little bit? Maybe he shouldn't have dropped Duke?
Comic pack potential: a massive 200 dollar G.I.Joe WMD toy that will solve the Cobra problem once and for all. Comes with a corrupt general, a corrupt senator, and granny Zarana.
Hawk does seem more proficient at collecting frequent flier miles than actually commanding competently! At least the corrupt general and senator had a plan!
