He should just be the pretty face.
Now, do I hate special forces operators; Of the very few that I know- No. Most seem pretty cool. Do I hate white people; It'd be hard trying to live a happily if that were the case. What would I do about the one that's always calling, hanging around, and sleeping over? Good thing I like her at least because if not I guess I'd be infuriated all the time. Do I hate blondes; only when they really think gentlemen prefer them. Brunettes are just as good.
I can call them as I see them and I usually do.
I got where you were going with that, I was just breaking your balls. You seem to be pretty hung up on Duke's appearance. lol Sooooo....you're saying Duke's not pretty enough for ya? Well, there's always this guy...
all 12 inches of him...
Seriously, though. Most First Sergeants I had were pretty well worn, if not grizzled. I sure as hell wouldn't have called any of them pretty. I would think Duke would be more like Joe's version of "Captain American". The soldier's soldier. The guy who always did the right thing. The "boy scout". Duke in Sunbow was older. Atleast that's how he always struck me. Just the art wasn't very good, imo.
To me, and I guess, the artist, Duke was always the older soldier. Like Stalker. Obviously not as old as Hawk. However, Hawk being an officer kind of cuts down on the "doing the real work", thing for me. jmo.
