In a way, this whole thread is a testament to the way that these characters have influenced all of us, and so much so that a fella from New Jersey, and an Ole Boy from Mississippi have found quite a lot in common. That's quite an accomplishment for a 25 year old line of action figures.
I'm glad we met, Cold Slither. I always value your posts and your ideas. Your writing is clear, and your ideas are right on the money. And as they used to say in the cartoon, "And now back to G.I. Joe" Here's a bit more common ground. My old man lived in Vicksburg back in the 90s. |

No Way! That's awesome; I've got an old frat brother who teaches and coaches at Vicksburg High. Ha! Did you ever come down to visit your dad?

I always like that before Wild Bill was a helicopter pilot, he was a LRRP soldier just like Stalker, Snake Eyes, and Storm Shadow.
Also, Duke is a pretty old soldier. He has been enlisted since 1967. He knows Han chinese and SE Asian dialects (probably Khmer, Viet, and Thai. What always surprised me was that these soldiers like Duke, Flint, Lady Jaye was they are all college grads but are regular enlisted soldiers and not officers! I would think this is unusual or unlikely but I actually know an engineer who has his bachelors in engineering and a master's in marketing. He indebted himself up to his eyeballs in student loan debt and he joined the army as a enlistedman and he served in Korea. The army paid all his $50K debt off! More than the G.I. Bill. He told me if you go in the army first, all you get is the G.I.Bill and army college fund. It doesn't pay like if you just go to college, graduate and then join. Didn't know that. Knowing is half the battle. And now I am too old to join and I still don't have a college degree! DOH!!!! DOH DUH DOE!!!

If you want to be in Special Forces, make sure you're good at typing, paperwork, and balancing a check book. You wouldn't think that, but apparently it's true.
