I find this odd.

My company is hosting a Marines Toys for Tots drive this year but check this out...

1. Toys not allowed:
a. Anything military themed.
b. Weapons/law enforcement type toys.

Toys for Tots is by the Marines, but that doesn't make them automatically want military toys or something :confused:

That was my reaction to reading your thread.

I'm sure you probably think if Chevron had a charity event it'd be fuckin weird that they didn't want people handing them buckets of gas

Its for PR, they dont want the ACLU filing a billion dollar lawsuit that the MC is trying to brainwash the children of america by handing out toy guns or something.

<--- does about a dozen Toys for Tots events each year, collects about a hundred toys and a few thousand $$$

no...how you even come to that idea is beyond my comprehension....

I just think its odd that a military organization is hosting (or whatever word you want to use) this event and they won't take anything military related.

Toy guns and Gi Joe's were some of the best toys ...

I guess they don't want poor people to have good toys, only crappy ones!

I stopped riding in them. Now they want a toy AND a $20 donation so, I just drop off a toy and ride my own way.
