Marine Corps Times article about the new movie.

Oh boy... This guy's about as ignoramus as they get.

"As of 2009, GI Joe will no longer be a "real American Hero." In a Paramount movie expected to begin production early next year, the combat veteran and his battle buddies will be rechristened G.I.J.O.E, an acronym for Global Intergrated Joint Operating Entity, and the icons of countless American boyhoods will become part of an international military force. The JOEs will be part of a Brussels, Belgium-based special operations unit battling the evil Cobra army, which is headed by a Scottish bad guy, according to Variety, the newspaper that reports on the film industry. This will be a live-action film, but the role of Joe has not been cast. The Variety report said de-Americanizing G.I.Joe, the Hasbo product long known as "A Real American Hero," is being done to broaden the movie's appeal for international audiences because America and its military are not too popular in some areas of the globe today."

Hm. Where to begin. Well, first of all, the Brussels thing has been dropped.

Next up, international members in GIJoe are nothing new. Backstop, the Renegades, Big Ben, Skymate... hell even Rampage and Switch Gears are from foreign countries.

Scottish bad guy... was Destro's constant Sean Connery imitation in the cartoon not clue enough that the guy's a freakin' Scotsman?

Oh yeah, this guy knows his stuff...

Geez, I never pegged Marines to be such whiners, especially not after witnessing Gung-Ho, Leatherneck and our own loveable Frank.

Well, The Marine Corps times is always behind on entertainment.....and big on what's goin wrong in the corps! Can't tell you who's in GI Joe, but they have a front page about some fruitcake who capped an innocent guy in Iraq AFTER his command sent him for 4 different Psych Evals! We jokingly call it "The Marine Corps Enquirer!"
