G1 Transformers and GI Joe are somewhat incomplete without reading the comic books also. While the shows and books do not share continuity, the basic personalites and backstories are the same. Especially in the case of GI Joe, where both the show and the cartoon based characters on Larry Hama's action figure filecards.
From an animation standpoint, Duke does not have much character or motivation. The cartoon only says that he has a sense of justice and duty throughout his life. If you know his backstory from the comics, he was an artistic child who was deeply affected by his mother's death. His father was a hippie and dragged him to a bunch of protests, where he came to disagree with his father's agenda and ultimately joined the Army after his graduation in 1968. He went to Vietnam, served as a Green Beret and turned down an officer's commission because he wanted to stay in the feild with his men.
Since none of this is directely contradicted in the cartoon, I think it applies as true for both versions.
