You wish your tax dollars spent on a game designed to teach conformity and sanitize war in an effort to entice the 18 and 19 year old Beavises and Buttheads of America to enlist in the Army?
Not me.

In fact I'd rather see the Army produce a game designed to attract all of you 30 to 40 yr old right wing extremists into enlisting. Maybe instead of a soldier shooting a terrorist we could have a conservative porking an Arab sheep stuck in a fence. You right wingers would be enlisting in droves.

I'm sorry, but am I the only one outraged by this? This is a blatant propiganda ploy designed to get 18 and 19 year old nimrods who are tired of working at Jack In The Box to join the friggin Army. What a friggin waste of my tax money. Oh, did you catch that part about "adjusting your attitude" to become a better soldier? What a crock.

You really understimate our government Elfenwolf. The target audience of this product will likely be 12-15 year olds. It would be better to indoctrinate them earlier, so you don't have to untrain the Jack in the Box out of them.

Generally speaking, the only people who can't handle this are serious loser's in the first place.  What?.. do you think nimrods who go to basic training leave basic training as nimrods?

[blur]

Let’s see if I have this straight, I spend my days slaving away for a few measly bucks. Uncle Sam then takes an exorbitant percentage of this meager amount and uses it to create computer games designed to turn my children into mindless, emotionless kill-bots ready and willing to do the bidding of the state.

I can see it now. Daddy, daddy! I just killed my twenty-fifth sand-cupcake and won the Shrub Hero of the Empire Medal!!!

Thank God this money wasn’t wasted on studmuffingity left-wing crap like feeding the homeless!

Yes I do, Tumor, but I'll concede they leave Basic as well trained Nimrods taught to obey orders without question. Why do you think the Army only wants our children? Because us old guys would tell them to stuff it after 30 minutes of a DI's abuse.

Well they certainly beat the sense of humor out of some of us.

You guys are considering this problem from the wrong end. The size of US army is decided based on the needs of our country security and that of our allies.
 After that a buget is allocated - whatever is necessary to recruit the necessary number of soldiers.

 If game makes it cheaper to attract people then current $10,000 per recruit - fine. If millions of US children decide they want to join US army after playing the game - so what?
 The army will not recruit any more people than it would otherwise. They may have better choice and be able to only admit higher quality recruits but not the greater number.

 Unless you think of yourself as plural or royalty, your use of "our" instead of "my" is not correct. Do not mix my children with yours. If you do not care or not capable of bringing your children up so they are ready to face the world, it's your personal problem.

And what part of "facing the world" is my child not capable of facing? The part that says we march blindly off, without question, to go fight a war halfway around the world against people who will ultimately be our allies in 20 or 30 years anyway? Or, like Korea, where nothing is accomplished or settled? Oh, I forgot. To question or express reservations about the need to send OUR kids off to war is un-American.
