PC Games and the D.O.D ticks behind them

Ok, it is clear to me now that the Armed Forces are targeting the youth now also via the gaming industry. In the gamespot main page itself I see events sponsored by the army, marines, air force etc etc...

There is only one thing I can say. Warning.

We PC Gamers believe it or not, learn a lot about weapons and sometimes even tactics (which is already a dumb thing because the enemies of "democracy" can learn too that way). Before I was a Mountain Commando with a NATO country and before going there, I learned plenty in PC Games in terms of reloading weapons, holding them, really, you learn a lot and you know what I mean. Childhood buddy of mine went to the Royal Marines Commando in the UK, we gamed together. Now he volunteered but I was drafted due to mandatory army drafts we have.

Anyway. I think however, it is weak by the DOD to target the gameing industry in such a way, because although I agree that at the end it is your decission to join or not, but most of us are intrigued and just amazed by military combat games. The action, the music, the pump, it is YOU, the Agent that saves the world, that kills hundreds of the bad etc and that is fun in the game.

Do not forget however, if you think the military is like that, you are wrong. There you got only one life. I am saying this because too many of my buddies in the US enlisted, where I lost touch with them and who knows what happened.

You only got one life there. Think about that.

this could be said for anything, FIFA makes soccer seem great, Madden makes football seem great, GTA makes gang violence seem fun, Lego Star Wars makes playing with legos seem fun, which it is

ahhhhhh conspiracy!

Paranoia is alive and well I see.....

And I guess the CIA (Culinary Institute of America ) was responsible for Burgertime too, right?
