It's not. It's the opposite. G.I. in this movie doesn't stand for Gov't issue. It stands for Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity. They didn't want to pander to Americans because they make more money overseas and it's a tough sell to Euroweenies and mooslimbs everywhere.
In "Superman Returns" I cringed when Perry White (Frank Langella)talking about a Superman story for the paper said "Truth, justice, and all that stuff..." instead of the American Way..
