I don't do fanfics, but I did play with the idea for a visual story aspect. This is about as far as I got: COBRA History: Mid to late 70s, With the returning soldiers of Vietnam often found themselves shunned, dismissed, hated and spat upon by the citizens they thought they were fighting for, one such man became obsessed with returning honor to those soldiers and holding those accountable for the costing them the war in Vietnam, he formed a Veteran Nationalist movement called Cobra. He centered the activities around the small town of Springfield, a small anonymous town in the U.S., which Cobra secretly operated as a base. The town was poor and desperate when the man who would become Cobra Commander arrived. He became the town's savior and it was there he started Cobra, many covert operations were held there. Early 80s, with the rise of the movement the US government took notice, though their efforts to infiltrate the group was difficult and many of their agents disappeared or sided with Cobra. In the mean time Cobra Commander had made allied in Europe and began forming various companies all of them fronts for Cobra, such as Naja Trading Corp and its likely subsidiary, Naja Hanna Video Corp, Arbco AKA ARBco Regional, Arbco Furniture Company, Arbco Moving & Storage AKA Arbco Moving, Arbco Bros. Circus, Carbo Plumbing, Robca Realty, Broca Bros. Carnival and Orbac to name a few. Later M.A.R.S. and Extensive Enterprises would also become part of the Cobra empire. The US government became concerned, declared Cobra a terrorist organization and organized a specialized team of Special operatives under the Code name GI Joe to combat Cobra. Mid 80s to late 90s, the conflict between GI Joe and Cobra, much of it highly classified, would come to head in Springfield where the US government authorized full force against the small town, much of the civilian population had been evaced to Cobra Island prior to the assault, the conflict would end with the town destroyed and though a victory for GI Joe, Cobra showed the world the oppressive US Government was willing to destroy and murder their own citizens (altered footage of the battle showed GI Joes executing unarmed civilians) and Cobra agents as news journalist interviewed several 'survivors' who confirmed these atrocities. World condemnation of the battle and the leaked footage was rampant, despite the US governments attempts to censor and deny the battle even took place, which only seemed to work against them. GI Joe was officially disbanded and Cobra Island was declared a sovereign nation. As for the members of GI Joe, some returned to their service branch, some retired permanently while a handful retired, but formed their own covert group and disappeared. 90s-2001, Cobra embassies and consulates were in nearly all countries, but for the most part the world had forgotten about Cobra. Cobra continued to recruit outside sources and Cobra mercenaries could be found in just about every conflict around the world or providing security for high profile individuals. 2001-present, After 9-11 the US government slowly began investigating Cobra once more and like before, agents vanished or turned sides. Once again the US began organizing a Spec-Ops team code named: Valor with a few of the original GI Joe team as advisers. The two sides brushing against each other in the spy-games and a handful of conflicts between them encouraged the US government to begin openly campaigning against Cobra, the President & his political party began demanding openness from Cobra Island, claiming they are stock piling WMDs and should destroy them under UN observers. Of which Cobra did not deny, but citing the US governments willingness to use WMDs, such as Agent Orange during Vietnam the blatant use of radioactive depleted uranium during the 1st Gulf conflict and demanded that the US destroy its own stockpiles before demanding others do the same. The world is hesitant to side with either nation, but nations such as Iran, Syria, Egypt, North Korea and Vietnam have voiced concern for Cobra Island as they too have been on the receiving end of the US governments propaganda and military adventurism, even China has been a road block in the UN, openly subverting actions against Cobra. The stakes are high, the world watches, who will flinch first.
