From a purely parental place, I would like to know what the general feeling is about children wearing camouflage-inspired clothes.
While this may seem like a trivial subject, all one needs to do is head to the Boy's department of any store and look at the selection available. I am hard-pressed to find a pair of pants for my pre-teen son that are not some form of camo. As well, Zellers has a line of pink and green camo for girls. It is everywhere.
This is a bone of contention in my own home as my significant other is involved in the military and has very strong opinions on the subject. He feels it is a sign of disrespect.
As a side note, my son does have several pairs of camo pants. When asked why he likes them, he says "they're cool".
Having casually asked other parents, it occurs to me that the only opinions I should consider are by those who wear the clothes for the purpose they are intended.
So, what does everyone think?
