Which honestly, since when is serving your country some horrible thing you've gotta be duped into? People have been joining militaries thousands of years before Duke took down his first Rattler.
Thank You, I knew You were capible of making an insightful post
And yes part of Me DOSE think that GI.Joes are perfectly o.k. for kids to play with. I'm not a big fan of censorship by any stretch of the imagination. Like the guy said a few posts back Kids at some point do need to learn fantasy, and reality are two different animals.
My Mother told Me a story about Her being a kid, and watching 'Marry Poppins' wich led to Her taking an Umbrella, and jumping off the fucking roof with it. I don't need to tell You how that went.
Kids will be kids, and kids do dumb shit. But telling Kids that GI.Joes are Heros I think is a little deceiving. People tell kids not to fight other children at school, but then they tell them that GI.Joes are heros who fight. It's conflicting.
Sure You have to fight for "what is right" sometimes, but a lot of people have a pretty fucked up view of "what is right".
