I think we've got the makings of a fun challenge on our hands.

Find Real-Life badasses, and give them code-names, making our own GI Joe Team in the process.

It would be very cool if Hasbro made real life people into Joes again. Similar to when they made Sgt Slaughter, the Fridge, and Roddy Piper Joes.

Haku was one of the people most feared in the wrestling business. He stopped a real fight by putting his thumb in the opposition leaders eye socket behind the eye and threatening to pop out the eye and eat it if they didn't leave.

Also he was one of 2 men in the world Andre the Giant feared.

I would suggest Audie Leon Murphy as well, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audie_...0for%20heroism. He was one of the most decorated soldiers in WWII.

Check out Brian Shul's "Speed Check" story on YouTube. Definitely makes him a shoe in for the team!

Audie Murphy. Code Name: Short Stuff

Marcinko would be disqualified now, he was convicted and imprisoned by the Navy.

A lot of the Joes were not extraordinary people. Look back at Dusty for example.

However, my submission is General Austin “Scott” Miller. He was an awesome boss and can be googled.
CSM Parry Baer was great too. I did not realize passed away. He was a bull dog.

The Sunbow Joes let a movie stuntman join the team, so how about Dolph?

He has degree in chemical engineering from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology and a master's degree in chemical engineering from the University of Sydney. He received a Fulbright scholarship to MIT. He holds the rank of 4th dan black belt in Kyokushin karate and was European champion 1980?81.
