Not just because of the beret and piloting skills, but also the part about him planning and leading hostage rescue missions that were classified. Oliver is also right about Hama: He can be a great story teller at times,but he's not a god. As far as the Coast Guard is concerned, I know they are often maligned by some, but they do some of the things that the regular Navy has to do in war on a daily basis -such as boarding hostile vessels. IIRC, they have some"elite" teams that specialize in taking out"go fast" boats from helicopters using modified M-240s and M82s.
The Hostage Rescue stuff from Flint's filecard is one of the biggest points in the overall argument.
Also (and this is just a bit convoluted, but try and follow me), we have to consider Falcon... so Flint was the new "leader" character for his year group. His background is very similar to Duke, and he's basically Duke's replacement in the Cartoon. in '87, Falcon is produced by Hasbro as the new "leader" character. He's sort of a cross between Duke and Flint (with a bit of Stalker thrown in) for his filecard. It's mentioned that he was with "Blue Light Group"... that was a competitor with Delta early on... a unit from 5th Special Forces group. It's basically a Delta Force-like unit. If Falcon is the "new Flint", and Falcon is from Blue Light... wouldn't it make sense that Flint came from Delta?
Also, look at Flint in the Action Force, he's an SAS Commando. The equivalent of the SAS in the U.S. isn't Special Forces. It's Delta. For U.S. Flint to be equal to UK Flint, he would need to be from Delta.
That black beret wasn't a mistake. It was a clue.
