Playing the War on Terror

This article written by, Roger Stahl, talks about how video games are correlated with the military. It even went to such extents that the U.S. Military designed a remote control truck whose controller was designed after the PS2 controller. I believe that this makes it easier for the younger generation to be more comfortable with military equipment if they decide to take that path in their life. With all these war games out there like "Call of Duty", "Battlefield", and "Modern Warfare", it makes people who play these games feel like war heroes. I think that people get so caught up in this virtual reality "war world" that they feel like they can do it in real life. So then they go to join the military and it is nothing like they had anticipated. Personally, I believe that it definitely helps improve your hand-eye coordination which is important when in war, but when you are sitting on your butt all day playing these video games then it becomes a little harder to be in shape for the military.
