I never paid attention to what Salvo's shirt said. I always figured it meant "might" as in anti-armor rockets.

Ok so what is the battle of washington? I love this structure since it makes more sense with the various support personnel and the typical squad setup under a Senior NCO. Like a full Platoon and a HQ element in your Operations Team. I'm unclear about the Gung-Ho squad? Is that just the new recruits? Backup? That squad isn't set up in any way.
Gung-Ho heads up the Special Missions Team... maybe I might change it so there is 3 and 3 in each squad instead of just a list of SM Team members... and I think of doc as more the "in house" Medic inside the PITT then a battlefield player however he can join a mission so he is part of the SM team... hmmm... maybe I should change it so it is two squads of 3. I kinda see the team base squad set up as Fire Team One and Weapons Team One Operatives (The Original Team Members) are the 1st Squad and FT2 and WT2 are the 2nd Squad they tend not to mix unless a situation calls for both squads to go into battle... and that is why the exports of team two are never shown in the G.I. Joe Comic- I guess they just didn't have as glamorous missions as the original team so they where left out of the Comic The comic/toy line left out some really key members like a Tank Driver and Gunner (Mobat has an auto loader... I kinda see the Mobat as totally gutted and up-armored and loaded with all sorts of hi-tech classified systems M551 Sheridan... the Joe team doesn't need an M-1 Abrams or other Main battle tank they need a light fast armored vehicle with good stopping/penetrating power able to be air lifted anywhere they need it... and like the original comic called the MOBAT Multi-ordinance BAttle Tank- I think the M551 fits that in that it fires conventional Rounds as well as Missiles from its 152mm Gun/Launcher)... yeah, they left out a team to operate the artillery and I also left that out as Punch line is the guy that operates the MMS (Hardly ever needed) and Down Range operates the FLAK and/or Whirlwind (Again Hardly ever needed) and neither of them have support personal so they are on their only when operating them Last edited by meleeinabox; 04-12-2009 at 09:51 PM.. |

It was definitely an odd thing to put on a "good guy's" shirt, particularly for a toy line that was targeted mostly towards pre-teens at the time. The only non-negative interpretation I can think of for the phrase is an alternative means of saying "History is written by the victors" and even that has its fair share of negative connotations (and it's a rather obscure interpretation at that... every other popular use of the phrase, historically, has been, in one way or another, been in a fascistic/absolutist/extremist context).

I am not so concerned with the slogan "the Right of Might" if it was "Might makes Right" I think there maybe some sort of questioning I think it is a matter of semantics here

In any event, I'm sure the guys who designed the toy weren't actually seriously endorsing anything political, much less anything that can be construed/interpreted as fascistic... they probably just thought the slogan looked/sounded cool and ran with it, without giving a second thought to its possible implications.

a few years back, i was emailed a jpeg of a filecard for a character called Sneakpeek and my friends said the character was done for Stephen King's son, who was a big Joe fan. Was wondering if you had heard this/seen this before.
as for Hama, i think he said in an interview in ToyFare ages ago that he used names of folks he knew or respected. {and having been a medic (civilian) myself, Medics rock. we have drugs, we carry jumper cables for yer heart, and I have had the pleasure of riding Hueys as part of my job. Woo-Hoo!}
