Government Issued Joe? I'll say.

Who’s going to see this drek anyway? GI Joe was lame when I was a kid. Thousands of rounds expended, dozens of vehicles and planes destroyed per episode and no one EVER got hurt.

Maybe that’s why they wouldn’t let the critics see it before it was released.

They knew it was such a drecky piece of propaganda that even journalists would feel embarrassed about reviewing it.

What is new about Hollywood butchering original material?

This is G.I. Joe:

This is Hollywood crap:

I love Gutfeld and his sense of humor to make a valuable point. Who else are you going to see mention Norman Fell. The reason Hollyweird cares about overseas receipts is because Americans stopped spending on the garbage.

A REAL GI Joe, why yes Virgina, there is a real GI Joe

In the Battle of Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands, on October 26, 1942, while a platoon Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps, he held his line against advancing Japanese forces even after all of his comrades had been killed or wounded. After reinforcements arrived, Paige led a counterattack against the Japanese, which successfully repelled the enemy forces and held the American line. While on Guadalcanal he was commissioned a second lieutenant in the field on December 19, 1942. General Alexander Vandegrift presented Paige with the Medal of Honor in a special ceremony in Balcombe, Australia, on May 21, 1943 for his actions. Paige later served in the Korean War, retiring from active duty in 1959.

Even today, we have the new generation GI Joe

Gunnery Sgt. Carlos Hathcock

Master Sergeant Roy P. Benavidez

Gunnery Sgt. Robert Blanton, the platoon sergeant of 1st Platoon, Company A, 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion,

Gunnery Sgt Michael Burghardt, known as “Iron Mike”

We know of or can all add our own “GI Joe” - you know, the been there, done that guy who has seen The Beast but still comes home to raise a family.

Screw Hollywood, you really want an “Action/adventure” story?

Take a Vet to dinner and then buy you both a beer.
