According to the ROC Desert Duke file card, he was a Captain promoted to Major, so I guess Hasbro has finally addressed this issue.
Personally, I like that. I hate the stagnancy that seems to be associated with rank in GI Joe fandom. Yes, Falcon is a Lt, but being with the Joe team he'd be a captain in no time. Ditto for all the other officers, NCOs and the crapload of E4s. Like I said, I like to think of the rank on the filecard as the rank the member initially joined with. Obviously that's going to change with time and that's what I like to think happened with Duke. He was the First Sergeant at first, but once the team expanded and Flint joined up, they had promoted him to Captain or something like that. He may have refused promotions in the past, but with GI Joe, the situation's a little different because even the General gets to see action regularly! There, issue resolved! Maybe Hasbro should hire me to write the GI Joe canon. ;)

Duke out ranks Flint in the comics and cartoons.
If it were the real world, Flint would be over Duke. This issue has perplexed me since '84 when Flint was introduced. But if you don't already know by now, let me fill you in on how the rank system works in the Joe Verse. He who has the biggest balls is in command at G.I.Joe. That being said, I don't know why Hawk got the job. DDP did a pretty good job of resurrecting General G.I.Joe Colton for the job. Colton would kick Dukes ass but even though Flint is all bad ass, I know deep down Duke would kick Flints ass too.

Most Warrent Officers are Mustangs. Mustangs are NCO's that went to OCS and became officers. Getting the grunt work in the start and the smart guy know it stuff later on. At least that was what I noticed my four year in the Marine Corps. Most of them are pretty cool if your not a nasty marine and you know your grunt knowledge.
