If you ask me, its what GI Joe should have been to begin with, a global unit where they don't have to worry about "borders" and governments of other countries... ie NATO or UN with a SOCOM feel.


Actually because of fans reaction to that they changed it back to All American hero.
Snake Eyes is no longer french either. And they are based in the Pit as you can see from the trailer. (I don't believe that's located in Brussels either)

edited: from IMDB:

The story is set at Brussels-based GIJOE, an acronym for the Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity, and revolves around an international co-ed force of operatives who use high-tech equipment to battle Cobra, an evil org headed by a Scottish arms dealer. --Real Movie News 11/20/07

This has since changed due to overwhelimg negative response from fans and even servicemen.

GiJoe is once again "A real american hero", not an international UN type organization according to Hasbro-
