War is Fun as Hell

America's Army" offers a range of games that kids can download or play online. Although the games are violent, with plenty of opportunities to shoot and blow things up, they avoid graphic images of death or other ugliness of war, offering instead a sanitized, Tom Clancy version of fantasy combat..<SNIP>
AND

The "Young Marines" prepares students as young as 8 yrs. old for Army life

I've heard tell that it is a good game and well developed. (minus many of the realities of war of course.) I've even tried it. My computer did not have enough memory. They actually had a line telling me to "support the economy and to buy more."

The sad fact that is did not work to anything more than chickenhawkism on their discussion board is proof that it was money flished down the drain.
