Could the G.I. Joe team have existed as a private military/security company or even serve as a model for the idea that would become a new, private Joe team of the future?

An American style Wagner PMC would be a very hard sell
to the public right now.

I think it would be a popular idea to have Cobra
take the role instead.

Something similar to Phoenix Guard, where we don't know who they are at first, or would it be publicized that this is Cobra? And, is Baroness still Cobra?

I'm somewhat detached from my idea at this point and considering how AWOL pulled a Dennis Hopper on us, trying to Keanu us onto the rename bus. What kind of scenario is this where we "have" to choose a new name? What are the stakes? Are Jeff Daniels and Sandra Bullock expendable at this time? I know Joe Morton didn't do us any favors with Skynet, and Alan Ruck let Kirk sacrifice himself for a lousy movie. At least Glenn Plummer went on to corrupt Jessie Spano.
