So I was wondering if I should make a separate page for the New 52 version of the Unknown Soldier?
One the one hand, the Unknown Soldier currently appearing in Suicide Squad, a soldier that was fighting in Afghanistan, is clearly a separate character from the one that operated during WW2 / Vietnam in the old DCU war comics and Vertigo revival. The GI Combat #0 issue even shows that there were unknown soldiers in those wars before this one.
The problem is that the #0 issue also introduces a magical aspect to the character. The implication is that there is an unknown soldier "spirit" from a cursed viking age dude who inhabits dead soldiers in every war, making out like there is an unknown soldier ghost separate from the bodies that it takes over, which obviously makes things a but more complicated.
I personally feel they should have separate pages, but I was wondering what others think
