Well, jag tog reda på saken. G.I. står för "Government issue".
Government issue is a term defining an infantryman in the United States Army, often ranking lower than a non-commissioned officer. Originally referring to the items used by soldiers - provided by the government and of an unremarkable quality - by World War II the term "government issue" was abbreviated into GI, eventually becoming a nickname for U.S. soldiers themselves.Så en "G.I. Joe" är en "Frasse fotsoldat", skulle man kunna säga.
G.I. Joe-docka. G.I. Jane-docka.
