I am in agreement that I would prefer that war not be played at all. Green soldiers? Toy guns? Absolutely no entry into my home when my children were kids.

I am all for unisex toys though. It infuriates me to see boy toys and girl toys - like pink Lego play houses while the boys get the dragons and castles. My son wanted an easy bake oven badly and had a pink one. My daughter had her Barbies but also had her male action figures too. My mom wouldn't allow me to have a Barbie. I did have a GI Joe astronaut though and a Six Million Dollar Man doll.
