Multiple Joes are portrayed as favoring this monumentally worthless peice of combat head gear both in garrison as well as on mission. Now let me clarify two of my favorite Joes are Flint and Stalker and the Ranger and Special Forces Joes always have a special place in my heart; but seriously the beret as combat head gear is worthless. I have been following the disscussion of Tankers wanting Hasbro to produce Dress Uniform Joes and Civilian attire Joes well the dress uniform should be the only time we see the beret on our favorite special operators. And as for my favorite Joe of all time, Flint, can anyone explain why a Special Forces Warrant Officer is wearing the Black Beret, and why Larry, nor any subsequent writer/artist never rectified that. Devil's Due even had him in the Tan Beret for a while which he would be unauthorized to wear as a member of a unit other than the 75th Ranger Regiment, not to mention the fact that he is supposed to be a tabbed up Beret carrying SF cat. Again sorry for the rant, but as an active duty service member raised around real beret wearers of the Maroon, Black and Green type of the 80s/90s, I find the beret a terrible head gear for anything but ceremony and going to the office or PX.

I think it is because he looks badass in the black beret. It might not work well in real life mate but on the toys they look awesome.

Sorry I didn't want to get into the idea that there were rather odd MOSs represented in an elite counter-terror organization, what I was going for was why it lasted so long, very few Joes look like they are doing anything other than hanging out in the Pit, Flint and Duke most of all with all the ribbons and shiny awards they wear.
