OK - anyone able to explain to me - what the hell happened in the end?

The Keith Giffen one with General Rock and Major Disaster? I dropped that one like a hot potato after three or four issues. Made zero sense. I was a huge fan of the Ostrander SS title, so I was really looking forward to another spin. Alas, 'twas ca-ca.

Sounds like it ended with something predictably confusing.

"Sgt. Rock" was really the Unknown Soldier.

I can't say for sure, but that was my initial reaction to the ending of the last issue. After all,
Spoiler: show
General Frank Rock was killed during the "Our Worlds at War" crossover, yet showed up alive running a new Suicide Squad. But at the end of the last issue, his face is revealed to be a mask, which he peels off and drops on the floor before he leaves. So "Rock" was an imposter.
The other theory I've read is that Rock was actually
Spoiler: show
Nemesis
, which is also a pretty cool idea.

Either of those possibilities are kinda neat, but I would prefer the second one for the Suicide Squad. I couldn't stick with that series to the end either. The Ostrander series is one of my top 5 series, and Vol. 2 just fell so far short of the mark that it was painful.

Oh, ok,
Spoiler: show
so not the "real" Rock, but the guy running the show was actually the Unknown Soldier or possibly Nemesis?

I love the second possibility. Ostrander's SS was my first exposure to that character, and I found him quite interesting even without knowing his backstory with Batman and so forth.
