Soldiers are often referred to as "G.I. Joe" due to the term "G.I." which stands for "Government Issue" or "General Issue," indicating items and personnel provided by the military. The name gained popularity during World War II and was further popularized by the action figure created by Hasbro in the 1960s, which represented an idealized American soldier. "Joe" serves as a generic name symbolizing the average soldier, making it a relatable and informal term.
