My parents didn't buy me war toys thanks to my father's stint in the Vietnam era Army. I did have a set of green army men growing up. I'm not sure how I got, I'll bet someone else bought them for me as a gift. Eventually, I lost most of them at camp in the sand behind the shower house.
It was a fun suprise to see one of my old friends, life size and walking around, at Disney. You may recall the "guys in green" played a role in Pixar's, Toy Story.
Undoubtedly playing with these plastic action figures, action figures NOT dolls, is the decisive factor that made me the shill that I am for the military-industrial complex.
