G.I. Joe

Origin
Joe Burch was lazy and girl crazy, but he loved his country and he loved to fight, so he joined the army and shipped off to Korea to fight communists. He frequently butted heads with Sgt. Mulvaney, even challenging him to fights, but the two cared about each other and shared many adventures.

Back home, Susie Evans, his sweeheart since childhood, waited for Joe. He tried to let her go, for her own sake, but she remained loyal to him. Joe always had a daisy in the band of his helmet, possibly as a reminder of her.

Joe was not especially bright, but he was very strong and very brave. Before the war, he had been a football star. He carried standard issue weapons during the war.
