I found out today that the United States Army spent $7 million to create a realistic first person warfare video game. That's a little weird, but people make video games like this all the time, like SOCOM. But get this, the game, called America's Army, if FREE!!! The army didn't spend all that money to turn a profit. It is entirely a recruiting tool! There are even links in the game to Army webpages. Ok, ok. I understand their logic. If the kiddies get hooked on the Army via their phat video game, they'll be more likely to sign up to kill foreigners when they turn 18. However, this is completely unethical, not to mention useless. A video game in a completely romanticised version of what warfare is really like. The Army is giving kids the wrong impression with this game. Plus, kids just want a free video game. They won't sign up with the Army just because they blew away a few computer generated Muslim fundamentalists. I feel kindof disgusted that my tax-dollars went to support this.
