Can you imagine the carnage that would ensue by adding Nerf guns to a country full of AK-47s, RPGs, land mines, and other assorted explosives? That’s just.....unimaginable. Show me a more efficient way to turn a peaceful country into a violent one. I’ll wait.

Something doesn't sound right here...

"The U.S. Postal Service said every country has different policies for what you can and can't send and the toy guns raised a red flag."

First of all, I don't think APO mail, which is how most of our care packages are sent, are ever placed in the hands of other countries. They go through USPS to a military carrier and then into country.
Second, my unit in 2013 (Afghanistan) ordered several nurf & squirt gun off of the internet for a combat dining in. I don't recall any of them claiming they never got them.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe it is abiding by host country rules? That would be my guess. I remember allied nations like Kuwait had some rather strict laws about what could be carried through on leave.

How ridiculous is this. I have been shot and shot many in return with nerf guns and guess what??? I’m still here and they are too. Unharmed...well except the one I shot in the eye. But I swear that was an accident. I couldn’t do that again if I tried. This is just as crazy as the story of the kid that got sent home from school because he used finger pistols. No wonder Fonzie was considered a rebel in Happy Days.
