About the Delta Force existence in the GI Joe universe.
I was looking back at my favorite issue of Special Missions...
Issue #2, Where Clutch, Roadblock, Dialtone and Recondo go to Brazil. The native leader, ?"Ibraham"? suspects that they are not Delta.
So my best-friend is trying to convince me not to pursue my hobby of trying to correct the ranks of the JOES. He suspects GI JOE is more NSA, a civilian type organization, so ranks and funds are not an issue, they were recruited in this civilian style unit from the military. He grew up strictly in the sunbow cartoon world 1982-1987, so he thought of the JOE team as a para-military superhero group, everyone can fly and have their own specialty and such, much like superheroes. I grew up with a hybrid of cartoon & comic book so I thought of them more like SOCOM before the military had acknowledged the existence of a combined special forces.
I think he's just tired of me trying to place them in formation with the promotions and changing which service that I placed them in. Why isnt Lady Jaye in the infantry units with Flint, instead you put her in Intel? Why isn't Bazooka with Alpine? Why dont you put the Artic Doc in your Squad. Why is he a Medic - Sgt 1st/C instead of a Medical Doctor-Captain. Why arent you using ROC Shipwreck as Shipwreck? If you're changing all this stuff then its not GI JOE anymore. My response, Im not planning to make my Joe Formation Diorama mirror the "Superhero JOE Force".
I have my "Superhero Joe" cartoon Roster, my marvel comic book Roster which almost mirrors the filecards with a few exceptions (Spec4 Doc & Sgt Steeler, I want to make WildBill an officer as a heavy fixed wing pilot and I still want to make Hawk USAF, Major promoted to a Lt Colonel, in Issue 4 with his jet pilot skills). Then, finally I have my Joe-Verse in Formation Roster.
Monday, I watched "The Losers" movie it was pretty cool. To me it had the feel of a GI JOE Special Missions story. Kinda a weird villian but oh well.
