All Sigma 6 haters answer this.....

ok. i dont know whats all this about, and calling soldiers stupid, or weak, or whatever. I'm a Marine, currently in iraq, and all though i dont particularly like the Army, i have to step up if they get insulted ^_^, i'm not saying any of you are wrong, but if you havent been in the military then is hard to give an educated opinion about something you dont understand. Military personal follow orders, usualy coming from the goverment. you think any of us like to be here in this sand box, no, but we do it because is our job. I havent seen the GI Joe thing, i found this thread looking for series's made by Gonzo, but i imagine that this GI Joe soldiers where following orders from someone in command, is not as if a group of us can say,"hey, lets go to france and bomb the *beep* for the stunt they pulled during WW2". Is all about who is in change and giving the orders.

It's great that you're a liberal, everyone is entitled to their own opinion in this country. But this cartoon is a KIDS show. Everything must be kid friendly, which is why the original 80's cartoon replaced bullets with lasers and why today they replaced regular cobra troops with the new B.A.T. robots.

It's a classic good vs. bad story that is seen in more places than just in this kids cartoon. To hold a REAL debate as to the legitimacy of G.I. Joe's fight against Cobra is insane, and it is insane for this reason... the writers have cleared ALL roadblocks that would give doubt as to whether or not Cobra were trully evil. The writers have made Cobra the embodiement of evil, you can't get more evil than them. The thing about writers is that they can mold the cartoon world into anything they want.

And in this case, Cobra=Evil. Plain and simple, no room for speculation. Zartan wasn't beaten as a child, Major Bludd didn't have his family killed by the government, nothing a very spiteful person like yourself could come up with to bash a kids cartoon.

And yes, you're very spiteful. The fact that you're here bringing in real-world politics and army bashing into a discussion of a cartoon where soldiers only kill robots and never people is concrete evidence.

You, as a "liberal", should PRAISE this cartoon. The soldiers only kill non-living robots and are completely inept in killing/capturing the enemy. Seems like how you view the military.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize your age. You probably are not familiar with the 80's cartoon that most of us had grown up on and loved very much. In no cartoon of G.I. Joe, both in the 80's and now, did anybody die in combat. It seems like the Joes and Cobra shot everything BUT each other. Because it's a kids cartoon there were restrictions, like the one I stated in my first post where bullets were replaced by lasers. Joes and Cobras were hit in vehicles, but the animators made sure to show that if someone was shot down in a plane they automatically eject and parachute to saftey, and if they are in a tank or something the animators show the soldiers jump out to safety right in the nick of time.

If your problem with this cartoon is killing, rest assured NONE of it is in this cartoon. And at the age of 15, let me say that you have very strong convictions for a person at your age. I didn't have strong feelings politically until I graduated from high school. But you do have much to learn about what it means to be a liberal, such as both liberals and conservatives love America and are always on America's side. What I think you probably mean when you say that you're not on America's side is that you're not on the side of the Bush administration. But if you were to ask famous liberals, like Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, and almost all of hollywood, they would all tell you that they love America and will always be on America's side. But being on the side of the president's actions is completely different.
