Oohh! the 'huggie/fluffies' will go apoplectic over allowing kids to play with 'warry-like' things... which brings me neatly to this:
One of my favourites! 
This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General, General Reinwald, who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?
GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?
GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?
GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become violent killers.
GENERAL REINWALD: Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?
The radio went silent and the interview ended...

Iranian Air Defense Radar: “Unknown aircraft, you are in Iranian airspace. Identify yourself.”
Pilot: “This is a United States aircraft. I am in Iraqi airspace.”
Air Defense Radar: “You are in Iranian airspace. If you do not depart our airspace we will launch interceptor aircraft!”
Pilot: “This is a United States Marine Corps F/A-18 fighter. Send ’em up, I’ll wait!”
Air Defense Radar: (no response . . . total silence)

If you're planning on buying an RAF 'action' figure today, best be quick - it's POETSday, and they'll be flying out the door by lunchtime.
BTW, highly detailed, that doll, complete with three left hands, but I'm wondering what the chain of clear plastic beads would be used for?

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
Glad Rag, no, I think you're right.
Could have been in a similar situation. "Do you want publicity? Yes/No - no pressure like."
"No."
"If you say No then you won't go on the New Zealand trip."
B*st*rds get you every way.

A Tory MP has complained that the the current figures are all male and white. An MOD spokesman said there were plans for a Gurkha, but buyers would have to send it back to Nepal.
Think the Harrier is a little short of range in that configuration. Johnny won't be able to fly it out of the garden.

I see the sales really hit the ground running.

The Convention on Cluster Munitions, CCM, prohibits all use, stockpiling, production and transfer of Cluster Munitions. Separate articles in the Convention concern assistance to victims, clearance of contaminated areas and destruction of stockpiles.
The Convention was adopted in Dublin by 107 states on 30 May 2008 and signed on 3 December the same year. The Convention enters into force six months after the 30th state has submitted its instrument of ratification, and is open for ratifications and signature at the United Nations headquarters in New York
