Question OT: Can anyone identify this?

I was looking through my knife collection last night. Anyone know what this symbol represents on this knife? It has the letters GS over the eagles head. It was supposedly taken from a soldier in one of the World Wars.

Probably something obvious, but I still dont know.

That stands for Girl Scouts. I was a Girl Scout when I was young. I never had a pocket knife though.

That is a WWII knife from the Girl Scouts. This was when they were used as prostitutes in Germany. They would lure the Nazis into a "relationship" and then hack them to pieces. This might explain the attitude Girl Scouts have towards Men in the 20th Century. They are very bitter and are not allowed to carry knives anymore. Now they have to wait until they are 18. they were a very important reason we won. Now in Iraq they are selling cookies but they are made of C4 and have killed thousands. Be careful and check the box, if it is in Hebrew make sure you don't bite down or you will explode

I would hate to be caught on the battle field with this in my pocket.
