Hmm.  Santa was a Recon Marine?  Old skool Nam Marine too? Makes sense! Think about how Santa operates.  No direct action.  He enters millions of occupied dwelling during the hours of darkness (he must have top secret, high speed NVGs), leaves behind goodies (during wartime I'm sure its explosives) and leaves sight unseen

I think we cracked the code.

Santa is a Recon Marine that tries to make up for all the hate and anger he inflicts during the rest of the year when he's wearing his real uniform.  Besides, he's probably been seconded to the CIA and is also gathering intel for future hits by their Special Activities Division.
