gi



__**GI**__ A GI is a term used to descibe american soliders in WW2, derived from the term "govermnet issue." GI's may have dedicated their life to this cause. Others lived through this. Most GI"s probably didn't return the same as when they left. The reason they derived the term GI from government issue was because when you joined th army the government pretty much owned you. As a GI you lost some of your right such as freedom of speech.
