I can't remember exactly what Hawk said he was doing, but If I recall correctly, he was a young, state-side, paper-pushing leiutenant. He may have been an aide. I just remember he was the one sent to the airport to tell Snake-Eyes about his family. Hhhmmm...That doesn't make any sense. Why would an aide get tapped to lead a Special Forces team?

And I have an odd affinity for Col. Courage and Bullet Proof. I was way out of Joes by the time they got released but I think they both have a lot of potential that has never been fully realized. I'd like a POC Col. Courage that is officially the team XO. I see Bullet Proof as the SWAT commander or urban combat team leader. He seems like a natural for the POC aesthetic. |

Negative. In "G.I. Joe: Declassified" everything was retconned to the Middle East.

Yeah, I think he says something about "driving a desk." I always got the impression he was in the Army during Vietnam but didn't serve overseas. Damn rich kids.

Sometime in the 70's Hawk had to get out from behind that desk and do some bad-@$$ s#!t to get tapped as the field commander for a Special Forces unit. Or Hama would explain it as that's what Hawk TOLD Stalker and Scarlett because what he was really doing was Classified.

Yeah, I know it got retconned to the Middle East (which is something that needed to happen), I'd just take his job then and transfer it to the 'Nam equivalent.
That's the only way the retcon can work is to slide events up the timeline and make it similar occurences. So what Hawk was doing in the Middle East would be similar to what he was doing in 'Nam. It is the same "history" afterall.

I always figured Flagg Jr. was the XO.
Col. Courage seems like the kind of guy who would be on the General's Staff (G1-5) I totally agree that Falcon should have been a Captain. I'm curious what they're going to do with the Renegades Flint figure... is his filecard going to say Warrant Officer or LT?

The "filecard" at the show's intro has him as a WO

Yeah, that's why I wonder about it. The show can't even make up it's mind on what rank he is. Poor Flint - Hasbro has no idea how to pay him. ;)

It is the same "history" afterall. In "G.I.Joe: Declassified," Hawk was a Light Colonel working at UN refugee camp in Borovia. Which seemed like it was not too long before the creation of the Joe team. Granted, "desk-driving leiutenant" could have been tean years before "light Colonel" seeing how there was about ten years between Vietnam and the creation of the Joe team.
