GI is an anacronym that meant general issue or government issue (originally it meant galvanized iron). In world war II, with so much GI equipment, American soldiers started to be reffered to as GIs as well, and as the GI patton is a soldier, that is the most likely. Of course, it could also mean the GI Patton is made of galvanized iron, but that is highly unlikely.
