Well, I can totally see why she's angry. I'd be a little angry. Keyword a little. I wouldn't get pissed or anything.
It's kind of promoting the military to children and not everyone is into that. Kind of like "You can play now but when you grow up join the army!"
SOMEONE is going to get pissed about SOMETHING at every opportunity. If it was a statue of Reagan, someone would say it's promoting the republican party. Clinton, democrats. If it was a giant sausage statue, someone would say it's promoting the "Gay Agenda". If it was a Easter bunny, promoting Christianity.
You know I was thinking, how I'd have a problem with this but not against having an abortion clinic or a head shop across the street, then I decided it's best if I just stay neutral. Don't flame me, I'm Sweden.
