Well in "Rise of Cobra" Destro is 40ish, Hawk is 60, Baroness is 28, etc.

Say what you will about the movie. The ages are pretty correct.

It seems it's really less about the age and more about the way they act. While I don't think that would excuse an extremely young General or an old private, the idea is that they act like soldiers and not emot like children all over the place. I think it's really a question of maturity that is played into the characters.

Well in the ROC: Mission Dossier book it says Ripcord is 28. And I don't know anything really about how military ranks really work but Ripcords age would tell me that Duke is either the same age and a way better soilder or he's a few years older. I think Scarlett would be younger by a few years but is where she's at because she's so smart. I would say Snake Eyes is in his mid 30's as well as Heavy Duty and Breaker. I would put Hawk at Dennis Quaid's actuall age which is 55. I would probaly put almost all of the other characters at the real age. ROC takes place in 2015 and if Hawk was in Afganastan Snake Eyes, HD and Breaker all could have served there as well. Depending on how old Scarlett is supposed to be in the movie most if not all of the Joes could have been in the military for 10 years.
