There is no way to translate Joe as it was in 85 to 2019. Military is different, people are different, and the country is different. There is no sense of patriotism anymore. The horrors of our past are glossed over and our kids are shielded from everything. G.I. Joe is not a property made for these times. Terrorism is more real now than ever and too many soft ppl would throw so much criticism at Hasbro for making toys that are "real." Also, if EVERY nationality is not represented out the gate or a woman is not the leader or most competent character, there would be backlash. In my opinion these companies are better off not dealing with the bullshit and letting properties sit. The most popular iteration of Joe and Power Rangers are fraught with "racist" elements but those elements were not pushed to the forefront when kids were just enjoying their childhoods. Snowflakes and social media have killed so many porperties' and careers.
