America's Army on Linux
jojor writes "It seems that icculus.org has gotten America's Army to run under Linux, as this screenshot will attest. America's Army is UT based and free (as in beer). More games for Linux, yippeh!" Awesome. I consider America's Army to be one of the best things my government has funded within recent history.
It's a recruitment tool for the imperial forces. And It's a terrible game. Keep it away from linux.
Wouldn't it be nice if money went to schools and the air force had to have a bake sale to buy a bomber?
I wondered if it was Al-Qaeda or the North Koreans that liked pound cake...
War is bad. It makes Baby Jeebus cry. Film at 11.
Honestly, why does stuff like this get marked up as "insightful?" Good grief.
I know this because Tyler knows this.
Why not spend more money on *preventing* war, in stead of *fighting* war?
/. and all. So, if anyone has the same opinions as I do, help me out with more links.
I don't mean to shave my beard, throw out my peace sign and stop puffing on my bong, but just because the U.S. stops "killing", doesn't mean that people we care to protect will stop "dying". Just look at this crap: Human Rights.
Since these guys are hiding behind a wall of "government", then it requires war to stop crime. Yeah, announce all of your U.S. conspiricies in reply to this message, but that doesn't boil down to reality. The reality is that some people irresponsibly wield a destructive weapon and have gathered so much hatred for others that they are so willing to use it at anytime. This needs to be stopped, whether the country has oil or not. BTW, did Serbia have oil?
Anyway, I'm probably gonna get shot down on this one, especially with
Yeah, but they don't want faggots in the army.
Did you know you can fertilize your lawn with used motor oil?
The game is perfect for mindless windows drones, that give excelent don't-ask-why soldiers.
The place for linux users will be in the strategy field, and soon Army will release a Linux only strategy war game for us.
Let's be good sheygetz and go die for Israel!
The propaganda may be good, but no thanks. Death to all insane religions & their followers!
Futurist Traditionalism
Well, sure they did. What happens if you don't eat?
I can hear the liberal-socialist ranting now! But if I don't choose to go to McDonalds, they couldn't have my money! Blah, blah!
Yeah, sure, but your money for food has to go *somewhere*. And then they get your dollar.
Like it or not, someone's got to defend the country, or you might as well go give your shiny home entertainment center to the Canadians. It's nearly as important as being able to eat, but not quite. And don't fool yourself about world peace. The only thing that will ever stop you from being attacked in the real world is the fact that, if you are attacked, extremely *bad* things will happen to your attacker.
So they spent seven million to get hundreds of thousands of nearly army age kids to go, "Whoo! Go Army!"? Do you know what kind of return on investment that is? I'd be sorely disappointed in them if they *hadn't* done it, once they came up with the idea.
Oh shut up. Your conspiracy theories fall on deaf ears. People are tired of anti-US liberal idiots like you.
Sorry Mac users! The Army doesn't accept people with mental disabilities...
Just kidding... I love the Mac!
I'd rather you do it wrong, than for me to have to do it at all.
