Alright, so for our next question for Larry, I was thinking about asking him about the Command Structure of the Joe Team... what do you guys think?
I figured we would ask him how he saw it, and how he would have liked to have done it if Hasbro hadn't interfered. Something like that... Also, did he incorporate Keel Haul and Flagg Jr.? That sort of thing. If rank wasn't important in Joeverse, why were there Officers? what was the purpose of Officers? I figure this is an issue that we've batted around enough to be interested to see what Mr. Hama thinks... after his last answer, I don't know that anything he says will change the way I run my Joeverse, but it is interesting to hear his perspective.

I just went back to check out your link pg 361? yeah that's amazing that they do incorporate women. I'm curious to know how many women are part of the unit or are they just allowed to train? It's a 3 week course? That doesn't seem like enough training. I was looking for studies on women in combat and they all seem biased. Supposedly the Army did a study that said women with enough training would be strong enough to pass all requirements. Congress just had a hearing yesterday about rape and sexual assault in the military in particular. Apparently 25% of military women experience some form while on active duty. One study of West point cadets had asked if men even thought women should even be in the military. 33% of males said no. So a culture shift would be needed to allow women in combat. But hey the army did it with Blacks in the Military. They are capable. A culture shift or an Invasion. Last edited by Loose Cannon; 03-07-2009 at 10:48 AM.. |

OK so my restructured question since rank is not so important. What 5 characters round out the Joe Leadership? Is it Hawk, Duke, Flint, Stalker, ?? or like the cartoon we all remember when Shipwreck gets promoted to Colonel and we see it goes Hawk, Duke, Sgt Slaughter, Flint, then Beachhead. I doubt we are they only people that were perplexed by the disregard for rank. Especially those who served or at least knew how rank works. |

And if you really want to get to the heart of the matter: Is the Joe team the equivalent of SOFD-Delta or is it more elite than Delta? Last edited by Tanksmasher; 03-07-2009 at 02:04 PM.. |

Like LC said, I think Hama might give us a very short answer if we simply ask what the order of command is. I would like to know who he wanted the leaders to be, but I think we should expand this question to include how the Joe team is organized. For instance, is the Joe team supposed to function like a Special Forces Company with armor and artillery attachments, or is it much larger and more self-sufficient like a Special Forces Group or Brigade?

Yeah, that's more about what I'd like to know. I suppose I'd like to hear about how Mr. Hama thought of the command structure. How did he envision it working? Was there a chain of command that he worked from when writing? How did he organize all these characters in his own mind?

Yeah, maybe we should incorporate something that inquires about the level of freedom that Hama had when it came to assigning rank and so forth. For instance, did he make Hawk a Colonel because he did envision a Brigade/Group-size unit, which is typically led by Colonels or even Brigadier Generals?

In addition, did Hasbro management or the artists/designers request certain Joes to have specific ranks or was it all Hama's choosing?
