The G.I. Joe team is composed primarily of US Army personnel but is supplemented by representatives from other branches of the United States Armed Forces, namely the Marine Corps, the Air Force, the Navy, and the Coast Guard. Additionally, a small number of G.I. Joe members come from foreign military services such as the British Army and Australian Army. Members are called from the best of their recruits. Each member brings to the team their own specialty.

—Anonymous “Chronicler.” Quoted in Philip Norman, The Life and Good Times of the Rolling Stones (1989)
“If that’s the world’s smartest man, God help us.”
—Lucille Feynman, mother of American physicist Richard Feynman (1918-1988)
“The ordinary man is involved in action, the hero acts. An immense difference.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
