If you're going to throw a punch, make sure it has some weight behind it.

Action toys are marketed to kids and only show the glory of war, so it's a stirring juxtaposition to have kids playing with the horrible true effects of war.

I like the idea, but I think it was a bit weird having kids in the commercial. I know it's necessary, but it still felt wrong....

I don't have a problem with kids being in the commercial from the viewers point of view. As you say, it works well.

I'm just not sure about getting the actual child actors... Although I suppose it's no worse than other stuff they've seen...
