G.I. Joe was not just a toy. Read an amazing story and get real mad.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr..... Not amused. GIJoe is AMERICAN. There may be an international cast of characters, but the Joes are American. Period.

And it's pretty clear that the use of Paige's face was conditional. G.I. Joe must remain a United States Marine, as per the agreement with him. This is a violation of that agreement.

I'm not a crazy jingoist by any stretch of the imagination, but what Paige did, like what a lot of soldiers do, deserves respect and remembrance. Maybe if we as a nation remembered more of our past, we wouldn't repeat it so often.
