GI stands for Government Issue. This reverts back to military law which says that all military personnel, like the bunks they sleep in, the clothes they wear, and the guns they carry, are the property of the Government. What started as a common joke among soldiers that they were, in fact, Government issued military property, became the standard ready reference. They were, quite simply, issued by the government and, therefore, Government Issue. |
