Clutch went to Ranger School, for crying out loud, the qualifications were all messed up.
Are we talking about the "Joe team" that we envisage is what the story is all about (i.e. an elite fighting unit that doesn't necessarily need one of each and every option in the armed forces) or the Hasbro/(and to a lesser extent) Marvel team which wants to appeal to everyone and provide more story-making material by embracing all parts and arms of the armed services?
If it's the latter then yeah, I understand the going for one of each speciality, but if we're really talking about an elite force, I don't imagine that's how it would be done (but the stories and filecards would probably become somewhat monochromatic, so fair enough I accept the mix)
