Not even going to bother.
Beachhead is a bad ass, rank has nothing to do with it.

Beach Head is awesome!
One could infer from Flint's comments that GI Joe does not use rank as a determining factor when assigning leadership roles. Beach Head was especially awesome in the Sunbow cartoon, and continues to be one o my personal favorites today, |

As others have noted, rank rarely makes a difference in GI Joe command structure. The 'toon is hardly cannon, and as already noted, his FC is pretty bad ass. Plus, he looks bad ass. The man wears a balaclava all the time!

balaclavas make anyone 75-85% cooler.
zapatistas are real cool.

Beach head is puss, never liked him at all, and in the cartoon, he was a loud mouthed, unintelligent idiot.

>>>>Beachhead is not important. He's not the 4th in command of the GI Joe team. He's a Staff Sergeant. An E-6.<<<<
If Hawk makes the decision that he is most qualified to lead, then he leads. Most of the Joes you mentioned have mission specific MOS or taskings - they can't or won't lead soldiers or missions. >>>>2. Beachhead was (for no apparent reason) named by Flint in that early scene from ARISE SERPENTOR ARISE as #4. Why? Who knows. However, based PURELY on that short UNBELIEVEABLY CHEESILY EXPOSITORY bit from that episode ("First comes Hawk, then Duke, THEN ME, and then finally, you.") which was clearly stuffed in to explain who TF the new guys were, about a million nerds decided that this essentially offhand comment, nailed down so succinctly, would be canon.<<<< It happened, though. If it happened, it IS canon. To say that 'nerds' made it happen is stupid of you. You can't cherry pick what you want to accept. Serpentor happened, Cobra La happened, and Beachhead is fourth in command of the Joes. >>>>However, I hate revisionist history, so I'm here to tell it like it is:<<<< I think "revisionist" falls more in line with claiming that something that happened didn't happen or wasn't 'accurate'. Like a warrant officer explaining to BH where he falls in the GI Joe leadership structure. >>>>If GI Joe is basically the same thing as Ninja Turtles to you, then surf on and eat some pizza.<<<< If GI Joe in any way resembles the real military to you, enlist. You'll learn different. Tom

I like him simply because he makes a great action figure.

You know what's crazy? I went on Beachhead's website and he said Omegawrath is a nobody and listed 125 other people who are more important than him!
This back and forth between you and BH has got to stop!

Shipwreck? Snake Eyes? Duke? Falcon? Flint? Stalker? what makes any of them cool or even in a position to lead?
The only person truly given the respect of their rank because of their rank in the cartoon was Hawk. |
