I know se was there until 1971, but when did Stalker get out of there? Would he have left with the marines in April 1971?

he came home with snake eyes i think? i dont know the date of thier return though...

I always figured Stalked stayed over for a year or so more. To explain why when Snakeyes came home and his family was killed in the car accident, how he had no one in the states. That of ocurse lead to his invitation to join the Arakishage.
