That's a very fair way of looking at it, and that way of seeing it would be supported by many of the filecards and comics. That being said, it just doesn't seem reasonable that some schmuck could just apply for the Joe Team, not if the Joe Team is really America's premier, miltary, counter-terrorism force. I suppose most of us - being adult fans who have grown up loving this stuff, and have an interest in Special Ops party because of G.I. Joe - have just wanted the Joe continuity to mature along with us.
