G.I. Joe (1964-) - Hasbro's Legendary Line of American Military Action Figures

[DonRocks]

The name G.I. Joe just popped into my mind.

(Train of thought: 1. Monkfruit in the Raw 2. Dextrose 3. Glycemic Index 4. G.I. 5. "Hey, I don't know what G.I. stands for!")

Well, I didn't!

I thought about it for a moment, and the best I could come up with was "General Infantry," but that's wrong - G.I. (and by extension, the 1964 Hasbro action figure / doll) stands for either "Government Issue" or "General Issue."

"Doughboy," I knew; "G.I." I didn't - weird, considering my dad was one.
