Oliver is right, for baseline discussions, gotta go off what is in the cards.
But Stalker and Outback would definately be Green Berets. I think there's enough circumstancal evidence and enough pieces given that it adds up to them being Green Berets.
If you were to compare Stalker's and Falcon's filecards, they're pretty similar. Both are combat medics, both have the languages. I think there's enough pieces that point to Stalker being a Green Beret. Could throw Duke into the ring as well.
Duke is specifically mentioned as being in Special Forces. It's in his very first file card.
I can't think of any evidence - circumstantial or otherwise - that would prove Outback's qualification as a Green Beret. His Ranger qualification is practically his entire file card.
As for Stalker - What evidence?
Languages? Well, he's trained in Intelligence and served overseas.
Medic? There's lots of Medics and the Rangers have them too.
His v1 figure had a green beret? Flint's v1 figure had a black one, it means nothing.
His service before the Joe team was with the 75th Ranger Regiment, just like Snake-Eyes, Storm Shadow, and probably Claymore.
What other evidence for SF qualification is there for Stalker?
I think we need to reevaluate the Ranger Regiment. Those guys are incredible. The most disciplined, toughest, mission capable, best light Infantry unit in the world. They should not be seen so much as "less" than Special Forces. They should be seen as "different" than Special Forces. If SF "wins hearts and minds", the Rangers "take scalps and cut throats".
