hadn't overlooked that these guys were actually SF. I really dig the fact that everyone uses the characters the way they choose in their own Joe-verse.
Well, about 60% of Special Forces soldiers are Ranger qualified, so MOST Green Berets have their Ranger Tab - they refer to his as "Triple Tower Power", which means they wear 3 tabs: Airborne, Ranger, and Special Forces. That's the maximum number a soldier can wear on his uniform. So even if he has earned a Sapper Tab, he can't wear 4 tabs.
All the same, all the Joes I've listed for my Special Forces unit are either explicitly Special Forces qualified in their file cards, the Comicbook, or is a HIGHLY likely inference based on the Comic or file cards. Also, in the case of Low-Light and Chuckles, I have emailed with Larry Hama directly.
To that effect, every Joe on my SF roster is either explicitly or very arguably (based on circumstancial evidence) a Green Beret in the continuity.
I understand you weren't knocking the list, but I want to be clear: I have made every effort to respect the continuity in making my custom team. This thread had been the main reason why I started this custom project. Pages upon Pages have been devoted to the discussion of the details of the Joes' qualifications.
I served at Ft. Bragg in Special Operations Command, and I worked with Special Forces soldiers regularly. I understand very well the difference between SF and the Ranger Regiment, and the difference between the Ranger Regiment and a soldier who is Ranger-qualified.
If you'll name a Joe on the list that you have questions about, I can explain in detail why I think that soldier is in Special Forces, and in most cases I can provide citations and evidence.
