There's a reason we have all the service branches, they all play a very important part in making missions successful and bringing all our boys home.
Yeah, funny you should mention that, I just reread "Master & Apprentice" this afternoon after Church. The unit was called the "Hammer Team" and it had a former Russian Spetnaz guy as the group leader, and FBI agent on special assignment, to Army soldiers, and one Marine. They were supposed to be like a smaller version of G.I. Joe.
Sean Collins (Kamakura) also stated that he was Snake-Eyes' Godson, which is something I didn't remember before. I think before his selection for "Hammer Team" Sean must have went through Special Forces School - that qualification was listed elsewhere by DDP, which means he's probably also Ranger qualified and who knows what else. My only point is that he's the 6th confirmed Green Beret.
I just think it would make a great 6 pack of figures to have all the official Green Berets on one team. Drop Zone is a cool character. I think of Kamakura like Nightwing... he's everything about Batman you like with less baggage. Kamakura is similar. Just thought it was a neat bit of character info.
