So I was thinking to myslef the other day about Snake Eyes' background and wondered to myself how old Snake Eyes was now. So I started doing some calculations (I am snowed in so I have some time on my hands) Given that SE was on LRRP that would mean that he was injured prior to 1972 as LRRP stopped operating then. If we estimate his age at the time as 21 (giving him some time to be drafted, go through Basic, then LRRP\Ranger training) So if he was 21 in 1972 that would mean that he would have been 34 in 1984 during the Marvel Comic book era. So that would also then mean that this year he would be 60. Wowzers, SE would be grey by now. Just think how old Hawk would be by now....
As you can tell I have gone a bit stir crazy. |

There are several guys that the file cards talk about them being in Viet Nam. Duke enlisted in 1967, Keel Haul was flying F-4's in the late 60's after graduating from Annapolis, Shipwreck fought on the Mekong Delta...it goes on and on. Pretty much every Joe from the 80s would have to be retired by now, which is why my personal Joe-verse is always stuck in 1985 or so.

Maybe that's why he wears a mask ... and a catheter.

one thing i love ARAH for is most of their characters were GROWN UP. Most of them felt like they were in their mid-late 30's. Felt like they had some experience and know-how. Now it's all kids and fast cuts and GO GO GO!
Duke is 42 not 24.
