Virtual violence begets actual violence

And the line between fantasy and reality blurs even further. People around this site like to say "Well it's just a game" when asked about their debilitating Quake addictions.
Yet the strongest military in the free world is using the same "game" as training material. Before that it was Doom, and before that, Battlezone. How many hours have you spent molding yourself into a ruthless killer?
When are we going to wise up and see Washington doing something about this. If they are using it to train soldiers, we shouldn't be allowing kids (or maybe even adults) anywhere near it.
I know it sounds ridiculous, but I might feel a little bit safer if we had something like background checks to prevent all those creepy, friendless joners from buying gruesomely violent games (Think Soldier of Fortune) I might sleep a little better.

The United States government uses its most advanced technology to kill people.
Even the beginning of the Internet was part of an effort to find more
efficient ways to kill people. The Internet was begun by DARPA, the United
States government's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
The U.S. government, largely without complete understanding by U.S. citizens,
has has killed more than 3,000,000 people in the last 30 years partly by
bombing 14 countries, if I have counted correctly.
The violence on 9/11 was a direct result of U.S. government policy. Here is a
book about how U.S. government policy contributed to terrorism: What should be the Response to Violence?
If the citizens of the U.S. really understood, would they support the
violence?
