Also, I would have to agree about CC having a military background of some kind. I think the reason Cobra has risen above all of the other dog and pony show terrorist organizations is because the common soldier in Cobra WANTS to fight for CC. It has to be about more than money. Sure Cobra has it's share of standard mercenary types, but the fanatically loyal, like the Crimson Guard and some of the higher classes of Vipers, probably believe that the world would be a better place with CC in charge. They feel like CC is one of them and if he were running things, they'd finally get the fair chance that they have been denied for so long.
In Albert Speer's book Inside the Third Reich, Speer talks about how Hitler never trusted his generals, but was always right at home when he visited his infantry. Reading that book, I got the impression that Hitler's commanders followed his orders because if they didn't he could imprison or execute them. Hitler's soldiers followed his orders because they loved him, or at least loved what they were allowed to know about him. Hitler was a very effective speaker and could inspire things in his audience, especially young people. That is exactly how I picture CC. Just like Hitler, CC's message is attractive to those who feel slighted by the system and think the he offers something better. But just like Hitler, when you reach CC's inner circle and can peak behind the curtain, then you realize just how empty his message is and that he is in it for himself.
