War toys seem to have become politically incorrect. Does this give children a false sense of security or weaken our Nation?

I'm still a kid and proudly play with my war toys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PXhaAJl7sE

SSG Ronald Williams, I didn't think any of the voting options were applicable to my thoughts on the subject. They're just toys and the PC police, as usual, have overreacted. "Much Ado About Nothing" - William Shakespeare

PC is what is destroying this country as well as one group wanting recognition but bashing those who oppose them. God forbid you don't jump on a bandwagon and join them and their "cause" for you will be ridiculed. I stand firm in what I believe in and if you don't like it, NMFP!!

Again we are avoiding a problem. The problem is parenting is not what it used to be. One part of society works to the point they don't see their kids (gotta pay taxes). Another part does not work to the point they are not communicating value, because they don't know what that is. The government has over sold it's ability to raise childern. Then the social wealthfare system blames the parents. So after circling logic but miss completely, the system turns blames everyone else. The the system in final step of lunacy turns on itself and says we need more. What has happened to the individual who is developed to be responsible and then rewarded accordingly for being part of the team?

The collective error is thinking about defense equals all violence. People are violent but given discipline that nature can be curved. Ignoring it cause self deception a grand scale. We learn about what is right and wrong as youth. Ignoring the problem of unjust violence by avoiding a toy does address the problem.

Again .. a survey that really needed a "HUH" option.

Where is it said that GI Joe or the Green Troopers are politically incorect?
Here is what Huff Post called politically incorrect .. count the number of Trooper Toys.

This can't even begin to be discussed without MAJ Robert (Bob) Petrarca 's input....

I was that kid growing up. My mother's goal for my brother and I was for us to turn out like Niles and Frasier off of the Sitcom "Frasier." I wasn't even allowed to have a toy gun for much of my childhood. We can see how well that worked out.

Violence is part of the human experience. No amount of political correctness or "conflict resolution" is going to change that. The sooner we accept this the sooner we can move on to productive endeavors.

I was 7 when I got my 22. I would put on my uncles bdu's and go hunting in our back. He was killed in 69 and grandpa gave me his bag when I was 5. By time I was 15 I had my 30 30, shot a moving target at 100 or more yards dropping it with one shot. Grew up on a ranch, only fun I had was shooting or riding.

Good or Not . . . some make excellent targets.
I guess that falls under teaching my son "Self Defense".
Not bad from twenty-five yards.

If it wasn't for my love of all things military as a kid, I would have never joined. I had G.I. Joe's & plastic little Army Men I'd play with all the time. I had toy tanks, toy fighter jets, and toy guns. My friends dad at the time was in the Army, and would let dress up in his old Army gear. We played outside killing bad guys, and made our own bases. Everything to us was a gun. Tree branches were guns, brooms were guns, hockey sticks were guns, PAPER guns. This politically correct crap has to stop! Boys grow up wanting thrill and adventure, danger and action. Lets not take that away from them. Stop castrating us liberal cowards! I would not be surprised if the government tried to ban toy guns, since they know they can't take the real ones away.
