Team of 13...

[jinx723]

With it being the 25th Anniversary of G.I. Joe the orignal 13 team members always comes to mind. I was just wondering who would you have on a team of 13 Joes?

 

My team would be:

Gen. Hawk: Commanding Officer

Duke: First Sergeant (& Airborne Infantryman)

Flint: 2nd in Command (& Tactics)

Stalker: Ranger (& Medic)

Snake-Eyes: Commando

Scarlett: Intelligences (& Sniper)

Lady Jaye: Covert Operations

Roadblock: Heavy Weapons

Gung-Ho: Marine (Recon)

Shipwreck: Navy SEAL

Firewall: Communications

Ace: Pilot (fly anything even helicopters)

Bazooka: Missile Specialist (& E.O.D.)

Let me go over the original 13 who I could do without:

 

Flash - Yeah, right, laser rifle trooper! I just hear Dr. Evil saying "la-zer"

Grand Slam - Laser Artlillery Soldier? HAL is a super computer!

Scarlett - Counter Intelligence with a cross bow....whatever!

Zap - Bazooka Trooper.....But hey, he can fly a chopper.

Short-Fuze - For a special commando unity, I never understood the need for a Mortar Soldier?

 

I agree with most of your replacments in your 13 except for one. I would go with Torpedo over Shipwreck. Torpedo is the ORIGINAL Navy SEAL.
