Portland Studios compiled a short history of G.I. Joe, the action hero that later became a popular ‘80s TV show. What pisses me off is that the latest incarnation has supposedly been rebranded as G.I.J.O.E.:
G.I. JOE, meet G.I.J.O.E., which stands for “Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity.” The “entity” is not located in the USA, but in freedom fighting Brussels Belgium. Presumably, they squeezed the G.I.J.O.E. headquaters somewhere between the NATO offices, EUROCONTROL, the European Comission, and the Council of the European Union.
This sucks! I fully agree with retired army Col. David W. Hunt, who said “G.I. Joe is not an international hero. That’s crap.”
