Soldiers often say, " We GI'd the place ." And when an area looks good, soldiers may say the area is “GI.” 士兵们常说，“我们占领了该地”。当某个区域看着不错，士兵们也会说该区域是“很好的”。

They say that instead of government issue or general issue, GI came from the words galvanized iron . 他们称GI既不是government issue，也不是general issue，它是 galvanized iron的缩写。
