Off the top of my head, I figure Snake Eyes' life roughly like this.
Born in 1953.
Enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1971. Served three tours.
Discharged in 1974. Informed by Hawk that his family was killed.
Studies with Arashikage clan from 1974-78.
Lives in seclusion in the Sierras from 1978-81.
Recruited by Hawk and Stalker in early 1981. Suffers the accident that leaves him scarred and mute.
Sounds good unless you try to include the Tet offensive in 68. I tend to view him as joining in 71 as well, and spending a lot of time in Cambodia running MACVSOG ops for the CIA. This gives us as young a SE as possible.
Still to reinvent Snake-Eyes to be about a 34 year old would make him miss the First Gulf war. I think they had this problem with Flint, and Beachhead and Outback. They wanted to give them real world experience but the US was not involved in anything major except Grenada and Panama, but these were over in a weekend.
Then only Delta Force and SEALS are getting any action. I'm not sure what action Special Forces was getting between wars.
