If you honestly believe it is not galvanized iron then it might be something else that is full of it.

As someone already pointed out, the two phrases, galvanized iron and government issue were applied to different things. The GI in soldier GI's refers to government issue. Whether or not the idea was derived from the GI markings on cans to refer to galvanized iron is not relevant, soldiers were calling themselves government issue soldiers, not galvanized iron soldiers.

So, when Congress passed the G.I. Bill in 1944, they were passing the Government Iron Bill? I really think not.............

Or when the Dept. of Veterans Affairs uses the term G.I. Bill, the admin. is referring to government iron? Really?

Darn, all those gov't iron members would be mighty surprised......

 

[coolVariable]

Wow. 90% really should be sent back to pre-school.
Next thing we know, they will be allowed to vote ...

This is really epic.

GI started off as meaning Galvanized iron. But latter came to be known as Government issued.

sure the meaning changed but it does not change fact it started off as Galvanized iron.


on the military channe's show mail call they mentioned this a few times

You're funny. Disregarding military members (and others) who have used it to mean government issue for the past seventy years, you cling desperately to the more archaic meaning out of some misguided sense of superiority.
