As Deltona pointed out, there are protocols and procedures they follow and anyone donating could easily have found that out. It wasn't the Marines making a fuss, it's the guy trying to ram the dolls down their throats doing such. The TfT's has been a great cause for years and they strive to make it as unoffensive and fair as can be.
Like Charlatan, I'd be offended. We're not talking street urchins with no adults around; yes, the kids might not care or just want to stick a firecracker up the doll's ass, but ultimately it's the parents/guardians choice how to raise those kids, not some Fundy's. And as someone who has donated a great deal of toys both to T4T and the local hospital, I know enough to make the donations as neutral all around as possible.
Actually, I would think Christians would be offended as well, making their supreme icon nothing more than a toy with batteries?
jesus doll I should buy a few, switch the robes to black leather and sell them as Bikers for Christ dolls.....
