After yet another defeat inflicted by G.I. Joe, the immediate subordinates of Cobra's leader, Cobra Commander, have finally come to the end of their patience with his apparent incompetence and his inability to achieve real victories.

Well, for those of us that remember the comic books more than the cartoon...watching it again is super confusing. And the military ranks seem to make no sense. Duke is in charge, and he's a Master Sergent...and he's in charge over Lieutenant Falcon. Falcon is an O2, Duke only an E8, it should really be the other way around, right? Or was it inspired by Oliver Stone's Platoon? Who cares, it also has a man dressed as…
