I never got the impression that Falcon was a Vietnam vet. Maybe his father was? I tend to completely ignore the Falcon\Duke sibling aspect. That is only part of the movie and nothing to do with Hama.
I bet Hama wrote both filecards, but then why would he make them so similar? More likely would be the guys who wrote Claymore's filecard wrote Falcons, just to make them over the top.
I'm surprised neither of Falcon or Stalker or Duke speaks Russian. Language training is a requirement for Green Berets and I think they have to become proficient in at least two languages.
Arabic I get for any of the 80's Joes . Terrorism originating from the Middle East was just becoming mainstream. All those languages are written with the Arabic Alphabet. Growing up in Pakistan for a good chunk of the 80's the threat of terrorism was always in the back of our minds. I even moved into a house where the previous inhabitant was killed by terrorist during a Hijacking.
Swahili I always assumed Stalker picked because it is one of the more commonly spoken African languages although English or French would make the most sense.
As far as Bazooka getting EOD training. I imagine the Joes like Delta are allowed to side train in anything they think would be useful. As a guy who handles extremely high explosives he might be a natural fit to crosstrain in Explosive Disposal as well just to fit the Story. I've read of Delta Guys learning to Ride Motorcross because they thought it might come in handy. And one thing that Delta (Which I think is just the Joes in this universe), Green Berets, and SEALS is these guys all know how to learn things quickly and become experts in a short amount of time. There are no dummies in any of these units. All of them are over-achievers.
