Continuing criticism by the military world to the new Medal of Honor from Electronic Arts, though this time the comment comes from a single subject and therefore it is not a chorus of disapproval as happened before the affair that led to the removal of faction of the Taliban.
Now is the marine veteran of the Iraq war all Benjamin Busch to express his doubts about the game: "I honestly do not appreciate that Medal of Honor show the war in Afghanistan now, because - although the form of fiction - the war makes it equivalent to the pleasure of the game, "said Busch on the NPR site.
Sure, almost all war games carried out the same thing, but according to Afghanistan Busch representation here is particularly confusing as Medal of Honor is proposed as an objective absolute realism, which obviously can not hit for his need to be fun, causing a spectacle of the war that is morally harmful, especially considering that this is a war ongoing. The removal of the Taliban faction, has also made things even worse: "eliminate the depiction of an enemy force as nationalism is on the needs of entertainment," said the marine, removing even more realism from the simple commodification of war now in Afghanistan. In short, "the real thing" is quite another thing than video games can show, so much so that the "honor medals" in Afghanistan since the invasion they were awarded "only eight. All but one are been awarded posthumously."
