Government Issue
Yo Joe!
G.I. Joe is an American cartoon soldier. The name was created by David Breger when he was asked to create a comic strip for United States military magazines during World War II. Breger came up with the title "G.I. Joe" from the military reference "Government issue". His strip debuted June 17, 1942 in the military's YANK magazine and Stars and Stripes newspaper. In 1945, United Artists released a movie titled The Story of G.I. Joe [1], directed by William Wellman and starring Burgess Meredith as acclaimed war correspondent Ernie Pyle.
In 1964, the character G.I. Joe became a series of military-themed action figures produced by the Hasbro toy company. The toyline began with the aptly named G.I. Joe. Two years later, Hasbro began featuring members from all branches of the armed forces. The name, G.I. Joe, no longer referred to one specific character but to a toyline brand. Hasbro's G.I. Joe is different from Breger's character and is trademarked as "G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero."

It started when supplies were shipped and labeled G.I., or Government Issue.

She is correct guys. "General Issue" is something that Uncle Sam handed out to every one of us in boot camp. It was also government issued, but not all that is Gov. Issued is Gen. Issued, as well. That is where we got the saying "He's just an every day Joe". He was also promoted to the consumer as "Every American's Hero" before "All American Hero"......Like everyone else, General Issue to all.

from the mentality of "if the government wanted soldiers to have families and wives, they would have issued you one"
Government Issue "Joe Blow" another statistic sent to fight the rich's wars for them, usually the poor and counted as expendable and worthless because they 'willingly' signed a contract
