I for one support LEGO's policy of not producing modern military themes
sets. In fact it kind of makes me uncomfortable seeing WW2 tanks and the
like built from Lego. There are not many havens for children from war and
conflict in the world of toys, which is why I believe many parents chose
LEGO. Okay, Star Wars and WW2 planes are getting a little close, but they
are a long way away from the horrors of modern warfare. LEGO will never
change it's policy on war related models, why can't AFOLs follow their lead?

(...) <snip> Mattias, I have heard people at my local Wal-Mart comment that 'they couldn't build military vehicles from LEGO®, so they bought megabloks instead'.
