I always thought it was funny that Ice Berg was from Brownsville which is about as south as you can go in Texas. I always thought that we should have a few tank drivers with the fact that Ft. Hood is a huge tank base. I think it is the biggest but I might be wrong and that one.
We have always had several Air Force bases around San Antonio so some cool fly boys or special ops guys would be cool |

Ok, now here's some serious minutiae. In a voice and speech class once I learned that among those who study dialects Columbus Ohio is considered the center, the baseline if you will, of Standard American Dialect. Grunt, the most non-specific standard of all Joes is from Columbus Ohio. Coincidence... I think not!

So we have... Different Name Different Place of Birth Different Rank I think that there's reasonable mitigating evidence offered here that the two figures could be used/played with as different characters.

I think Barrel Roll and both his siblings are from there as well.

Those guys are really cool. Or some Air Assault Infantry/Cav Scout soldiers. That would be great. Texas A&M has that Big ROTC unit out there.

Scrap Iron is a bit of a perfectionist who has ambitions of blowing up the world.

I still think alot of Mercer has to do with pre-Vipers (when he probably was an E-9) and post-Vipers (changed name to "hide" from the Cobra squads hunting for him) and joining the Joes (back to pre-Vipers name and rank).
