Well, there's a newsflash for us. You figured out recently that fiction isn't real, and wanted to share that news with us? Thank you for that. If I ever meet a G.I. Joe collector that has a question about that, I can direct them to your post in this thread.
But somehow, you failed to understand much of this conversation. Never was there a question if children were capable of imagining Cobra, or any other fictional bad guys, nor was there any question of how large or small a childish mind can imagine such an organization.
Instead, a group of G.I. Joe enthusiasts, (with many if not all of them in their adult years), were sharing their own unique perspectives and opinions regarding the fictional army of COBRA from their own, often adult, point of view.
Laughably, you also summarized your statement about another fictional representation of COBRA (as imagined in the recent Renegades cartoon series) by comparing it to other real-world corporations and companies as if to justify the size that private corporations can grow to under the protection of the United States armed forces has any direct relationship to how large the adversaries of the United States armed forces can become.
And how is that any different from comparing it to the sizes of other real-world armies or terrorist organizations as was done earlier in this thread? It isn't.
Whether or not 250K foot soldiers for an organization that's generally depicted as a genuine existential threat to freedom and liberty worldwide is believable, or not so unbelievable, to others would largely depend on how much or how little one already knows about this world. The younger and less knowledgeable the mind, the more believable something can become.
I'm sorry you took my post so personally, but I stand by it.
