Wild Weasel is an Air Force term that dates back to the 60's. It refers to a type of radar guided missile that is designed to destroy SAM missile emplacements and enemy radar so that bombers could make it to their targets safely. It is actually a great code name for an elite pilot.

His File Card was great too, with him having a cybernetic lower-jaw, from getting the bottom blown off his face by a vulcan machine-gun (caught him from a side-angle). That's why he had that weird voice, cybernetic jaw, "Wiiiiilld Weeeaa-saall!!". But ... Who can get shot in the face by a vulcan machine gun, and live??? ... Bad-ass.

@@jykvox869 Where did you read that he has a cybernetic jaw or got shot with a vulcan? Was this from some new version of him from a recent comic or something? His original origin said Wild Weasel had a distinctive speech cadence due to a mouth injury believed to be resulting from ground fire during a strafing run. Not trying to bag on you, I'm honestly curious where this other version is from.

155 should’ve been here too... sure, it’s the last issue, where the Joes are packing up the Pit... BUT it was the ONLY time ever in the series where the reader got to “”hear” Snake-Eyes’ voice, as he writes a letter back to Sean Collins (the son of Wade Collins, an old buddy from Vietnam who served with Snake-Eyes, Stalker, & Storm Shadow on LRRP with... and Snake & Stalker helped Wade relocate after he left his new job... with Cobra!). Since Sean wanted to join the military, and his father tried warning him about what it’s really like, encouraged Sean to write a “real warrior” ie Snake-Eyes... and what Snake-Eyes wrote back was honest, heartbreaking, sincere, and inspiring...all at once😍

@@Majesticon Anything involving Kwinn was great. Number 2 and the whole run of issues beginning around #12 and running through #18 or 19 (can't remember) that wrapped up the Kwinn/Dr. Venom/Scarface arc. Great stuff that was certainly not dumbed down for kids. I was an early teenager when the series started and just ate it up. I enjoyed the more reality based Special Missions stories a lot. There were many great stories in its short run. The death of the October Guard being one that stands out, along with the one where Destro's troops were marauding through Southeast Asia and Hama drew parallels to what the Kmer Rouge did in Cambodia.

Wild Weasel is when an aircraft is equipped with radar-seeking missiles, and is given the mission of flying around enemy territory with the goal of taking out their anti-aircraft installations. Its an extremely dangerous mission to undertake and one that few pilots would willingly do. Only extremely skilled pilots, that were also considered crazy, would agree to fly "Wild Weasel" during the Vietnam war.

The Cobra Rattler pilot's code-name is actually derived from real world military terminology- during the VietNam War, 'Wild Weasel' was the call sign of American aircraft whose mission was to fly fast & low through a sector of North VietNam that was known to be heavily defended by various SAM missile & anti-aircraft (AAA) emplacements, in an effort to get the enemy crews to turn on their fire-control radars in an attempt to 'paint' the U.S. overflights, so they could be tracked & shot down. Other U.S. aircraft would accompany them at higher altitudes & when the North Vietnamese switched on their radar sets, the higher flying aircraft would then target that site & attempt to destroy it using HARM or Shrike anti-radiation missles that would follow the radar beam back to it's originating source. The pilots who had the nerve to basically offer themselves up as targets had an incredibly risky job & were usually chosen because they were the best of the best & had nerves of steel. An incredibly hairy task.

From G.I. Joe Order Of Battle #3 (February 1987, Page 27), written by Larry Hama: "Wild Weasel cut his teeth in the bush wars of South America and Africa during the last decade. His knowledge of close support aircraft is wide and varied, ranging from jury-rigged civilian conversions to ultra state-of-the-art flying weapons platform replete with laser-guided missiles and ECM (electronic counter-measures) pods. It is rumored that a mouth injury inflicted by ground fire during a low-level strafing run was the cause of the characteristic sibilance in his speech pattern." MAYBE Wild Weasel got his start flying for the USAF, USN or USMC in Southeast Asia before he began his mercenary career flying for the highest bidder? NOW YOU KNOW...

mang kanor I’m not a fan of that arc. Duke refuses to gun down the Saw Viper execution style because he feels like it would be too cowardly. Then it’s heavily implied Snake Eyes did it for Duke when he drops Saw Viper’s rifle on their graves as an offering. Which is never really explained if that’s shade on Snake Eyes or Duke.

Although all those comics are great....if it was my list I'd remove 3, 9, and 6 and replace them with #1, #40, and #24. Number 1 being the first one and giving the Joes as regular army men their due. And the first time you see Cobra Commander. #40 has the Joes actually lose as Cobra creates a new home base! And number 24- the Escape of Cobra Commander! I much prefer my Storm-shadow as a cobra, him being on the good side can be cool but never in my top 10. And Snake-eyes being ninja exclusively is cool, but if you are going to put #21 at number 1 (and most people do) I'd rather not have too much of the top 10 as the Snake-eyes show. Besides, he's still in a lot of the list!
