I like Oliver's take on them being all ex-military. But they are most useful for cobra in breaking up other gangs and recruiting/shang-hi-ing various low life disenfranchised types. I would think an easy source of money for Cobra would be drug money. There's a lot and they can just take it, without anyone reporting it. This is where a guy like Headman would be useful in profiting off the supplies they steal. Why wouldn't they? Most other Terrorist organizations do it.
Makes perfect sense to me. I figure Cobra is up to it's eyeballs in the heroin trade, and probably the cocaine trade as well. One thing I'll say for IDW's new continuity: those guys take Cobra pretty seriously. Obviously there is some stupid stuff like the whole MASS device moon base, but what I really mean is the ferocity and ruthlessness of Cobra has really been ramped up.
So with the Drug trade, I think Cobra would let Headman handle that. They might even keep it away from the 'Noks, just to keep it compartmentalized. IDW's Cobra seems pretty adept and not letting the left hand know what the right hand is doing.
