Well tankers whats everyones stance on ninjas in the joe verse?
In my professional warfighting opinion ninjas have no place on the modern battlefield.though i believe that unarmed combat skillsets that could be taught by someone like the hard master would be valuable im hard pressed to see how a ninja could infiltratea secret facilty with hightech resources like the pit or how one of them could rush through 23 troopers slicing them in half with out one of them getting a shot off inbetween his running lights and the only thing that can stop him is an equaly ridiculus ninja.I doubt that a hand forged katana could slice through sapi plates and kevelar with the quickness that it does in the joe universes. So i will be casting a firm nay and thus vote that the ninjas be purged from all joe history this i command lol |

Yea
I liked to play army and pretend I was a ninja so it was win-win to me Ninjas were seemingly invented in the 80's along with Gi Joe so they will be forever married.

Well in my verse Ninjas have a super limited role.
But, a true Katana can cut through standard kevlar like a knife through butter. If there is plate armor than the blade can easily puncture it from a stab, or cut through it if the blade comes at the edge. |

I'm not a big fan of the whole ninja lore. I thought it was cool when I was younger, but I think that it doesn't really add much to the story. I look at the Joe stuff as purely military. Stealth and hand-to-hand combat is good, but in this regard I'm more of a fan of the commando/special forces/SEAL stuff. So I say NAY on the ninjas.

i used to be pro ninja 100% but now im moving more towards the realistic military view. being an expert in hand to hand is very different from dressing like a ninja...the new jungle SS and CS SE are ninja-esque but dont look like true ninjas...so yes*
