I was so excited to hear about GI Joe the movie coming out in 2009. However, I was quickly disappointed when I heard that you are changing my childhood hero to be “politically correct.”
Excerpt:
“No longer will G.I. Joe be a U.S. Special Forces soldier, the “Real American Hero” who, in his glory days, single-handedly won World War II.
In the politically correct new millennium, G.I. Joe bears no resemblance to the original.
Paramount has confirmed that in the movie, the name G.I. Joe will become an acronym for “Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity” — an international, coed task force charged with defeating bad guys. It will no longer stand for government issued, as in issued by the American government.”

I’m tired of the PC crap! What happen to honoring & praising our special forces, soldiers, & their heroism? What happened to PRIDE in our country? There isn’t anything wrong with being PROUD to be AMERICAN! I LOVE our country & I LOVE the men and women who have fought for it!
The GI Joe’s worked with other countries to defeat Cobra! I remember that from when I was a kid! There were all races, creeds, colors, sexes, and faces on GI Joe… but they stood for an awesome American fighting force which is how our country was formed & how we’ve continued to rescue others!
I hope this changes between now and 2009.
Concerned,
Ray
