[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to completely derail the thread, but my 7 year old is into this too. I admit that I don't want to go completely overboard on this in his room, but I like the suggestions here that offer the theme without getting crazy. And BTW, we live in the heart of liberal NWDC and he recently told me he "wants to be a soldier when he grows up" because "there aren't enough people doing that."[/quote]

Let's see, at various points in time, my son was crazy about:
1. Trains. He decorated his room with them and had lots of books and videos about them. Chances of him being a locomotive engineer when he grows up: negligible.
2. Fire trucks. He decorated his room with them and had lots of books and videos about them. Chances of him being a firefighter when he grows up: negligible.
3. Construction equipment. He decorated his room with them and had lots of books and videos about them. Chances of him being in construction when he grows up: negligible.
4. Dinosaurs. He decorated his room with them and had lots of books and videos about them. Chances of him being a paleontologist when he grows up: negligible.
5. Planets and stars. He decorated his room with them and had lots of books and videos about them. Chances of him being an astronaut or astronomer when he grows up: negligible.
6. Superheroes. He decorated his room with them and had lots of books and videos about them. Chances of him being a superhero when he grows up: negligible.

I look at the military theme exactly the same way. Right now he says he wants to be a Marine when he grows up. He decorated his room with military stuff and had lots of books and videos about military equipment. Chances of him being in the military when he grows up? Negligible.

It's another phase. He'll grow out of it. So why are everyone's panties in a bundle about this particular theme?[/quote]
