WHY Did Hasbro Want To KILL OFF The GI Joe Leader Duke?

The Story about Duke who was created SPECIFICALLY to lead the GI Joe team.

Duke may not be the flashiest, or coolest GI Joe, but when it comes to being the leader of America's daring, highly-trained special mission force, there is no one else best suited for the job. A true real American Hero! So WHY did Hasbro want to replace him?

Every toy in my collection has a story, how I came upon it, why I bought it or even just some random or obscure bit of info about it. Admittedly not all of them are amazing, funny or interesting...but I think some of them are, and I'd like to tell you about them...one toy at a time.
