Hasbro has and will always state that G.I.Joe is not a historical or present day accurate representation of the military. They prefer it to be looked at as a fictional military. Thus some of the uniforms and MOS's not making a who lot of sense.. also the reason until recently that most of the guns did not look or represent any actual guns.

Red would have looked pretty good, but the toy makers probably thought black looked cooler. This was the 1985 wave after-all, not a real big 'military accurate' wave >looking at you Bazooka and Quick-Kick... and Alpine...and Airtight... and BBQ... and Shipwreck... < |

Flint's beret often came off in combat (or at least a good fist fight). So did Stalker's. Dial-tone - not so much.
Of course, the beret is sort of the iconic touch for these characters. Green beret's didn't wear their beret in combat -sure - but it made them what they are. And in the early years, you didn't have "Pitt commander Flint" and "Combat Flint" and "Armadillo Driver Flint" so they had to make one image for him to cross all the lines - toy, cartoon and comic. To be fair, when it was a small combat team in the first 10 issues, the joes often wore outfits and helmets that reflected their climate, situation, etc. It just changed as the line got larger and more characters were added so that kids could recognize who it was.
