Maybe too old
 

I do not wish to insult anyone living or dead, with two or three exceptions if presented with that document individually by the persons pictured, I would detain, for medical evaluation, this group.
Sorry but even considering the events as described in the game I just cannot see those pictured as real.

I'd have to kill them. Everyone knows that anyone with weapons working for the President wears only....

1) a dark blue suit with a red tie...or...
2) a dark colored "jogging suit" with a fanny pack (and only when running with the president)...or...
3) Khakis with a white polo shirt and Khaki, or brown "photo journalist's" vest (when in the "3rd world").

They also wear dark sunglasses and never smile.

As was stated in the movie The Core..."Sir, we have no sense of humor,...and we're armed...."

Oh, da-yum. You've run in to G.I.Joe. :cool:

In case you don't know or are somehow unfamiliar with GI Joe. Here are the characters who are pictured in the above post; in order from top to bottom:

Wild Bill
Flint
Recondo
Lady Jaye
Duke
Bazooka
Jinx
Stalker
Tunnel Rat
Outback

Brigadier General Lawrence J. Flagg was commander of GI Joe in the comics.

Red Faced
 

ah just a bit after my time. I grew up on Sgt. Rock! Now that was a comic book HERO!!

So awesome!

I don't want to go OT but the mention of both GI JOE and SGT Rock brought back one of my all time favorite war comics from back in the day, The Haunted Tank! Anyone remember that one?

As soon as I saw Bazooka, I knew what I was looking at; I collected the first 75 issues and less than half of the figures (despised the TV cartoon, though). I am amazed that people would go so far as to cosplay those figures, but not really surprised. I guess I am surprised you didn't have 15 Snake-Eyes cosplayer pictures, I have seen some Baroness pictures.

Gen. Flagg bought it in the Battle of the Pit, IIRC, so they named their aircraft carrier after him.

Mark three Stuart then a MK 5
 

Oh man that was one reason I went ARMY

My favorites were the LT and Gus!
 

LT OX you are one of the only persons that I've met who remembers that one. My old boss used to talk alot about SGT Rock but never The Haunted Tank. My grade school self loved both the way that LT Stuart always balanced the mission with his men as well as the complicated facts surrounding a black guy serving on a WW II era tank that flew the stars and bars. As odd as it may sound that early influence probably formed the earliest genesis of my leadership philosophy. Weird, but probably true!

Childhood
 

I have a 1/35th Stuart model here above my PC it is painted for that tank and above it on a hill is Jeb On his charger. :tank:
first every month ten cents then twelve, I had every issue for seven years in a box when I went into the Army. My Mom tossed them and the Spiderman and Fantastic four in the trash and kept the Stamp collection.

I hope you kept your Mom apprised of the value over the years!

Mom's need to keep the house clean...not so much!
