So wow, I log off last night and miss all sorts of stuff. This would be pretty cool if Hama agrees to answer some questions. I think we should brainstorm as many topics/questions as we can and then choose the best five and then rewrite them to make sure we don't ask any yes/no, obvious or redundant questions. The questions should be phrased in a way that require full explanations.
Here are the biggest points of interest on my mind:
1. Joe qualifications/training - Which Joes (ie, the not so obvious ones) were intended to have Ranger/Green Beret/Marine Recon training?
2. Joe organization/command structure - How did Hama envision the Joe's formation, organization and chain of command? Was it intended to function as a Group-size unit like Special Forces with Colonel Hawk as the CO? Or did he envision a much smaller, SFOD-D type unit with support from the regular Army? Are or were all the Joes supposed to have SOF backgrounds?
3. What should have been published in the file cards versus what actually appeared - In other words, were there any requested changes that brought about particular inaccuracies in the final drafts (eg. "Was Flint supposed to be an E6 or WO2?" "Was Stalker originally conceived as a Green Beret?" "Should Altitude be Sgt Major of the Army?") or were these simple editing/artisitic mistakes.
4. Disparity and disproportion in ranks - How come there are so many NCOs compared to E4s? Why weren't there more company-grade officers, or Marine officers for that matter, created to fill gaps as the Joe line continued?
