Yeah, I know. The Road-Pig inclusion is totally out of left field.

Speaking of the Flaggs, does anyone find it odd that they would name an aircraft carrier after an Army general? Is that common, to name a Naval vessel after an Army officer?

Always struck me as weird. Also, anyone that just watched the cartoon and the toys and never read the comics would never make the connection.

My theory about the Flagg is that since it was the Joes' own carrier, it was named after Gen. Flagg as a tribute, or at least, I think I read that somewhere. I also figure it's a play on words- US Flag=USS Flagg.

Lifeline, that's really interesting. That might have a lot to do with it. Flagg could be named after the Colonel on MASH.
Well, after reading through the Action Force Battle Files, I've decided to add Spirit to the ODA Team. I've made a personal decision to consider the information from the AF as part of the Joeverse cannon, as long as it doesn't contradict the U.S. filecards. So, for example, Beach-Head's AF Battle File says he's New Zealand SAS - well, that simply won't work. However, Spirit's Battle File, as well as Duke's, Hawk's, etc. do not contradict anything - in fact, it gives a more detailed account. So, I'm considering Spirit to be Special Forces qualified. I'm also adding Hawk to the roster as a commander - because according to the Action Force Battle File, he's a former Delta Operator. It's interesting to me that Delta Force shows up so often in the Action Force Battle Files, and it's never been mentioned in the U.S. file cards. |

I totally forgot about Barricade was from Pittsburg, Ks. Maybe he has a Gorilla decal on his Helmet, for the moniker of Pittsburg State. My cousin went there.
