At least not totally. They get some but not enough.
So they then need to fend for themselves so to speak.
Which is where Honda Lou and Stanley come in. Yep, stealing from Zulu
HL is a US Marshall specializing in smuggling. Stanley is the Joe's procurement officer.
Basically anything the Joes capture is theirs to use and Stanley is responsible for keeping 'em supplied.
Hey I like that. kind of like Miami Vice and how they drove a Lambourghini. It can explain half of Tiger Force too. Like it was a big hit and they just racked it in. I mean if Cobra is as technologically advanced as it seems, they would have a lot of stuff just worth stealing.
It could be a massive cover-up as well.
Using a terrorist front, the US government would sort of allow them to exist just for the fact they would be like a total tech hub. Albeit through questionable methods, Cobra without regards for human rights, and a seemingly unlimited bankroll that they just steal from where ever, could really be a front for cutting edge technology. Why wait for Senate approval?
"Hey Johnson? You know that tank with the flux capacitor, built in Lasers cannons, and a Laser Mortar system that can withstand the impact of a Freight train, with a top speed of 90mph that we've been working on? Yeah Yeah scrap that. Cobra already did it and the Joes just stole it, I mean recovered one. 5 years under schedule and $10 billion under budget."
