Hasbro wanted to make the Joes have "jobs" so they could make a ton of different characters with different equipment and "looks".
And the average persons knowledge of the military, back when Joe came out, wasn't much. Unless you were in the service, chances are you didn't know much more then the basics.
Nowadays, with the internet and the way wars/conflicts are covered, there's more knowledge available and shown.
Back then, Special Ops was a thing of mystery, nowadays it's more open.
I wish there were more Resolute Joes out, so we could see how Hasbro is handling them. Resolute Duke's filecard is a thing of pure crap, one of the worst ever. I hope it's not the new style they're going with.
I think Hasbro was more concerned with making interesting figures then being completely accurate.
But there should have been more Green Berets on the Joe team, and all of them should have at least been Rangers, SEaLs and Marines or some other form of Special Operations.
