War IS a game. its a game of life and death. It is the ULTIMATE competion and often it is waged w/as much reasoning as a sporting event.
How many sporting events that we all love all simply reflections of combat-war? Rugby..Soccar...Football(American) etc. All require team work, self sacrifice and discpline to succeed at.
How do you think leaders can send men to die so easily? Its a "gamers" mentality...a step away from the actuality that is the horror of warfare.
No time for spell check so endure my grammer-spelling please.
