I was able to get Netflix to work, though the picture quality is somewhat fuzzy. And it turns out that Duke was nearly recruited to GI Joe in Thailand. Right before he broke up a bar.
So why would an American soldier be in Thailand, especially when we haven't had any bases there since the end of the Vietnam War, and those were Air Force rather than Army anyway?
Well, did you know that America and Thailand hold joint military exercises every year, to celebrate their military alliance (and also over 175 years of some sort of military relationship)? It's true. The two countries do this annually -- I can't find a clear record of the schedule, but it seems to run sometime between February and May, for about ten days to two weeks each year.
The program is called Cobra Gold.
*dies laughing*
I really have to wonder if the scriptwriters knew about that...
