1!!G.I. Joe General
2* Anyone ever wondered why the G.I. Joe [[http://theflickcast.com/wp-content/uploads//logo.jpg logo]] has the flag of the ''[[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/20/Flag_of_the_Netherlands.svg/150px-Flag_of_the_Netherlands.svg.png Netherlands]]'' on it? A Real American Hero!... From the Netherlands.
3** Pshaw. [[CreatorProvincialism Everyone]] knows that there's only one ''[[{{Eagleland}} awesome]]'' nation using those colors today. Though in all seriousness, it was probably done to keep the white part of Red, White, and Blue in the middle, preventing too much blending in/bleeding out when the logo was placed on a white background.

5!!G.I. Joe Comics
6* In both the original [=ARAH=] comics and the ''Snake Eyes: Declassified'' redux, Onihashi kills himself after making it clear he knows Zartan did it. Why couldn't Onihashi hold off on the seppuku long enough to '''''tell someone who the assassin was?''''' The clan and remaining elders wouldn't hold Thomas responsible, Snake Eyes wouldn't have that grudge going on, and Thomas wouldn't have had to join Cobra to discover his uncle's killer, thus avoiding his FaceHeelTurn and repeated brainwashings. Literally all the Arashikage-related problems could have been solved, save for the Hard Master dying in the first place, if Onihashi hadn't taken his knowledge about Zartan's role to the grave. Is it HonorBeforeReason? LawfulStupid?
