“The controls look very much like a PlayStation controller…” – Breeding our Youth for War, Playstation 3 Style.
Breeding our youth for a future generation of expert thumb warriors may not seem very unethical to the mothers and fathers and others who have lost loved ones.
I don’t stand on either side of the fence myself in this situation, but you’re free to decide where you stand.
Have a look at this video:
This isn’t a US army video at all, it’s a kid’s recording of his Call of Duty 4 gaming “skillz”. I find it a bit strange that, if you look a bit deeper into these videos, search youtube and other sites, you’ll find that CoD4 is almost a complete recreation. If you believe I’m not telling the whole truth, here’s the original link.
Now have a look at this video:
This is an actual video of people being killed in warfare, some may call them terrorists, insurgents,
There are many more videos out there of actual military footage, so many in fact, that a talented video editor could probably recreate this entire Call of Duty 4 video in a couple days.
I suppose if I were sent into battle, I would rather face carpal tunnel syndrome rather than death as well.
Moms and dads, if you’re the type to send your kids off to war(I’m not judging you here), give them a few good games to get warmed up with.
Who knows, they may get a promotion and a $7 a month raise right off the bat!
