[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Wow! First this thread has given me a lot to think about and I really appreciate that.

Second, there are some awesome decorating ideas and links here and I really appreciate that too.

So my DS is 5 turning 6 in the fall. I would be thrilled for him to go to West Point. I agree totally with poster that being in the military is about honor and service. My college roommate married a West Point engineer. I work for a non profit and I believe that the world would be a better place if we all did things that connect to service and mission, and not focused on doing things that make money.

But... my son isn't saying he wants a military theme room because he (right now) understands service to his country or the ability to improve our lives by helping out others; he is fascinated with guns and bombs. As is probably some 99.999% of other boys his age. So I want a room that is fun for him, but not one that is crazy-bunker-gun.

And based on the awesome decorating ideas, I think that distinction does make sense to a lot of people, who picked up on themes and colors, without a big focus on the munitions part. Thanks again all![/quote]
