Not wanting to throw a spanner in the works, but although LRRP was apparently coined for the Vietnam units, it was afaicr also used to denote units that would patrol behind enemy lines if the Cold War kicked off (and after the fact to WW2, Malaya, etc. units too).
I suppose that in the US (and indeed outside the US) it's more associated with Vietnam, but just a thought for any characters who don't seem to meet the age requirements to have served in Vietnam. |

There is no good reason... but like everything else in the movie, they just screwed it up. I imagine that the rational had to do with the fact that Hawk also had a beret on. Like the Black Berets were the unit headwear for G.I. Joe in the movie.

The inconsistencies are becoming unacceptable. I think we need to mandate an official change of GI Joe attire. For now on, the all-terrain, all-weather, multi-camo Tiger Force uniform shall be the official uniform for all Joes and those who qualify will earn the right to wear the "Yo Joe!" tab and the Orange Beret!

So this would go above the SF, Ranger and Sapper tab. Right? |

Or just a big "Anti-Cobra" sign... you know, the Cobra sign in a circle with a line through it. You know, because the whole purpose of G.I. Joe is to defeat Cobra. ;)

When someone asks them, "Hey, what's your motto?" They Punch that person in the face and then with their fist raised in the air, they shout: "NOW YOU KNOW, AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE! Hail, Snake-Eyes! Hail, Duke!"
