would “True Lie” every be made today?
If GI Joe fights yet ANOTHER rouge internal american/cia operation then forget this.
What next, GI Joe action figures with walkie talkies replacing guns?

I just5 hope they have better aim in the movie than they did in the G.I. Joe cartoon>
In the cartoon, they couldn't shoot for sh*t.

be careful the MSM will take that picture and show it to PETA which will issue a press release decrying violent soldiers killing red tailed jumbo squirels.

When I was a kid (I am about to date myself), GI Joes were a foot tall and had incredibly realistic uniforms and gear. There were working zippers, straps, load bearing vests, even diving gear.
Joes were great. They lived a very dangerous and exciting life. When they weren't being involved in a foot-long jeep crash or being sent across a pond on a raft, they suffered numerous "realism-enhancing" injuries caused by tiny amounts of flash powder extracted from Black Cat firecrackers. Oh, and the Black Cat IED was invented at least 50 years ago, by the way.
But the Joes always won. And I don't ever remember any boy having a negative view of the military at the time. Every kid wanted GI Joe.
