GI Joe to not be American

Growing up with Marines for parents, GI Joe was a hero of my childhood - I used to imagine my dad being part of the team. When plans were announced to make it into a feature film I was excited. Now it has come to light that GI Joe is not going to be an American special forces unit but an international task force that may or may not contain American military characters.

This is absolute crap! GI Joe has always been Americans helping to save the world. The idea that GI Joe is now going to be distinctly not american is to totally eliminate the distinctiveness of the character. I mean the essence of Joe is american. If they actually go through with this, then I will probably boycott the film for this stupidity - and that would truly be a shame.
