It's the corny cartoon version of Joe that I grew up with, but it's the one that's stuck in my head. Cobra has mercenaries, but Joe has heros.
I agree with you. This is the way I see the Joes... which is the way Special Forces works. I do think they probably have "Kill Teams" that specialize in CQB and DA missions that just take people out. But a unit like Tiger Force, for example, I see them as the Joeverse counterpart to 7th Special Forces Group... they're down in Sierra Gordo and have an ongoing relationship with those people.
