I've been a WW2 nutter since I was a kid, playing with plastic toy soldiers.
My father never forbidded me to do anything related to it. but he did made me unsterstand and learned me about War. especially World war 2...when we where on vacation in France he showed me a lot of War monuments, military graveyards, the beaches of the Normandy invasion, Museums and other places like Oradour Sur Glane. |
Stop, you're making me jealous!
The only battlefields around here are Concord, Lexington and Bunker Hill, although as a young child my Father did take me to the opening of the Arizona memorial in Pearl Harbor.

Forbidding that someone has a interest in War would only feed the persons interest, also I think its selfish.
War is always around, how is someones father going to hide his kid from it? the only way it would work is to lock him up in a basement and never let him out.
And his father is never going to succeed, as soon he leaves home he can do whatever he wants.
I think it would be good to have a good father and son talk about the subject.

But how do you know they didn't already have that talk? We only have one side of the argument here. Now from his posts here AG seems like a good kid, but he did have a fixation with nazis thats not difficult to imagine could be worrying to a father.
