This thread brings back memories and reminds me of such comments by other who had much more interesting and distinguished lives (I'm actually thinking of Admiral Byrd here) who described their own childhood wargames. I even had a neighbor who sometimes let the kids play with his Japanese rifle war trophy. Imagine that today.

Even more interesting is Elmer Keith's believe that kids should NOT play with toy guns, though I don't think he ever mentioned BB guns. He did, however, atually mention toy guns in one story he told.He was also against bowhunting.
