** BiggerIsBetter: The ''Echo''-class was supposed to be replaced by the ''Victor''-class in a few years. The ''Victors'' were designed to be significantly larger and more heavily-armed than the ''Echoes'', bringing them into [[MilitaryMashupMachine Land Battleship]] territory.

* TankGoodness: The UNA's ''Echo''-class Autonomous Armored Vehicles ([=AAVs=] or "Rumblers") are about the size of six M-1 Abrams tanks, and weigh about 500 tons.

** EyepatchOfPower: Unfortunately, she is still [[EyeScream minus her right eye]]. Oddly enough, the whole incident seems to have strengthened her will, to the point where she is almost in command of the base.

6-Commando usually updates once a week on Monday, unless there are technical difficulties (like RealLife rearing its ugly head).

** ImprobableAntidote: Not only did Mike fix Sarah's brain damage, whatever he did cured her (seemingly terminal) radiation poisoning and third-degree burns. Even her hair started growing back, much faster than normal. [[HandWave None of this is explained, although the effects are obvious]].

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Mike's rescue attempt [[spoiler:started a global atomic war]].
* PoweredArmor: Deployed in great numbers by most of the world's large militaries.

[[http://www.viciousprint.com/6commando/comic/and-so-it-goes/ 6-Commando]] is a [[MilitaryAndWarfareComics Military And Warfare Webcomic]] by Mathieu Moyen, a.k.a. "Mr. Average". In this timeline, the 20th century [[AlternateHistory played out a little differently]] from ours. UsefulNotes/WorldWarI dragged on for ten years, and UsefulNotes/WorldWarII never happened. The casualties from the "Great War" were so devastating that the "Great Powers" were determined to avoid a repeat at all costs.

It is now 1997, and tensions are high. The United Nations Alliance [[note]]the USA, Canada, Mexico, Central America, Australia, the Philippines, Japan and parts of Africa[[/note]] is in a standoff with the Federative Socialist Republic [[note]]Russia, China, most of Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia and parts of Southeast Asia[[/note]] in the "Congolese Disrecognized Zone" of Africa. A minor border skirmish spirals out of control, and it appears that the "UsefulNotes/ColdWar" is about to turn hot.

* TheGreatPoliticsMessUp: Thanks to the extended UsefulNotes/ColdWar, the world's political alliances have formed in different ways than we are familiar with. The South American Coalition [[note]]"CONASUR", unifying all of the South American nations[[/note]] and the Arab League [[note]]Most of the Middle East and North Africa[[/note]] represent powerful blocs who want to sit out the Cold War. Africa is especially chaotic, with several political blocs jockeying for position.
** {{Hypocrite}}: The South Americans [[spoiler:have been developing thermonuclear weapons for the UNA, using the UNA's African base as a weapons factory. So much for being "neutral"!]]

* AIIsACrapshoot: The UNA's hulking [[TankGoodness supertanks]] (known as "Rumblers") have an artificial intelligence built in, making them fully autonomous SapientTanks. One of them, Mike-One-Echo ("Mike"), decides to disregard orders to break off a pursuit. [[spoiler:This leads to dire consequences]].

** Major Thomas Rucker (USA), Mike's battalion commander, when he realizes that Mike won't respond to orders.
** Colonel Conrad Haulley (Canada), when he's informed that Mike has already crossed the border, in violation of orders.

** LensmanArmsRace: Maximum yield for nuclear weapons is generally limited to about 100 kilotons per warhead. The nuclear nations make up for this by stockpiling thousands of warheads.
