If they were going to base things on a real-world conflict now, they'd probably simply have them as having served in the early rotations into Afghanistan and Iraq, and Hawk probably would've been a hotshot young officer in Gulf War I.
That'd be like what Marvel did with Tony Stark...originally his whole capture/origin was in "Southeast Asia" (Vietnam), but not too long before the movie they "updated" him so that it was in Afghanistan instead. Or they could take the DDP approach and have them fighting in "Notitnam" ("Unspecified Southeast Asian Conflict") to try to keep them "evergreen." Though I suspect Snake-Eyes "official" origin now is that he was raised/adopted by the Arashikage. |

Im Weird
I play out adventures and stories all through Joe history, ill just set it up with say, all 82-83 guys and play " This is when Cobra was stealing the plans for the Rattler From the air force" or something....the later crazier concepts will just be placed closer to now, which also lets me break out the newer versions of say duke or snake eyes/. |

Yeah, reality suspension is needed. My dad was in Vietnam and he is 70! Or you can have the sons of the originals taking their places. Traditional military families.

Most of the Cobras are the originals, though. Unlike the Joes, Cobras have no problems using illegal and/or unethical medical procedures and genetic engineering to help keep them vital.

LOL I guess in mine time marches on but they never age. I too have a long history in my Joeverse which also incorporates the Marvel /DC universe amongst other things as well.

Well I'm more of an old school GI Joe fan so Hawk, Snake Eyes, Stalker, Rock and Roll are former Vietnam soldiers who are in like their 40s or 50s in 1980s GI Joe. Snake Eyes is one nimble spry vietnam war vet to be going around acting like a ninja

I thought they'd each been in Vietnam in the later years. I always thought they were in their mid to late 30s in the 80s.
