Back before playing with war-toys became a federal crime. Most little boys played with those post-war bags of green army men. Granted we didn't know shit about wars. Nothing about the real army getting our faces balls cocks legs or arms blow off. The TV shows movies, and comic books made a point of never telling us. Who the bleep would be insane enough to join up if the knew what was waiting for them.
That put conveniently aside. I like all boys queer or whatever played guns soldiers or war. The name changed with whatever block or town you lived on. When not running around the 'hood with plastic tommy guns. We sure as math tests played with them green army guys. Bedrooms basements back yards the beach all over.
Some of the more truthful sets had wounded figures. Wounded armless legless green soldiers on stretchers. I recall seeing this sometimes. Didn't get the message though. Not for a while.
Anyway above are the few green army guys that survived my 258 years of hanging around. Odd I lost so much, but these bastards hung on. They probably did it on purpose. However that's another story for another time. Btw below video some demented boomer animated his army guys,...why didn't I think of that?
