One critical commenter asked in disbelief: 'Did I understand correctly that a combatant brought a machine gun and a flamethrower to the kindergarten?'

But another replied: 'It is better that a combatant who wishes well for children brings a machine gun and a flamethrower to the kindergarten than a terrorist.'

But a supporter said that if boys are not taught about weapons then they will become 'cowardly men'

Another said: 'The girls will probably not be interested, but the boys - 100%.

'We have become too soft and pampered as we see from so many indignant comments.'
