I completely understand why others would have issue with this but I can't say I mind the idea of an international team since I grew up with Action Force. For years, I didn't know any different to the following nationalities:

Hawk (JAMES Abernathy) - Warminster, England
Flint (DAVID Faireborn) - Lincoln, England
Ace - Montreal, Canada
Lift-Ticket - Wimborne, Dorset (UK)
Blizzard - Leipzig, Austria
Shockwave - Manchester, Greater Manchester (UK)
Repeater - Penrith, Cumberland (UK)
Wet-Suit - Toronto, Canada
Airtight - Munich, W. Germany
Alpine - Grenoble, France
Barbecue - Naples, Italy
Budo - Osaka, Japan
Downtown - Luton, Bedfordshire (UK)
Dusty - Alice Springs, Australia
Fast Draw - Bracknell, Berkshire (UK)
Recoil - Clifton, Derby (UK)
Sci-Fi (Sebastien Fine') - Strasbourg, France
Countdown - Cardiff, Wales
Lady Jaye - Cork, Ireland
Quick Kick (Lee Ho Ito) - Canton, China

And more that I never had Action Force filecards for...

I don't think a character's nationality is really going to make much difference to how their character is portrayed, the relationships between them and how the team actually operates. The only problem to me with an international team is the name GI Joe being used since that's a 100% American nickname for a soldier, what with the USA being the only country that uses the term GI!
