U.S. Army to d00dz - We're Coming for You

Thanks to cdagobah for mentioning a post up on the America's Army game site. Executive Producer Phil DeLuca posts a message updating the community on a recent anti-hacking campaign they've initiated, and has a clear message for would-be wrongdoers. From the post: "Allow me to speak directly to the bad guys for a moment: When you get banned, know that we know and have records showing you were doing something that's a violation of terms of service, breaks your EULA, and also happens to be against the law. We know who you are, and can track down where you play from. We have incontrovertible proof you did something illegal. The Army is angry, and we're coming for you. "

What is it about Beltway Bandits and civil servents working with the millitary that produces these freakin' desk-commandos? Like they've even fired a weapon before. There's a special place in hell for all these losers where they're forced to PT their flabby @$$es all day.

"Really now, do you want military-sized, wasteful, beurocratic budgets to spend time tracking down people who cheat in a video game?"

Sure, why not. Better this than...oh, I don't know...invade a country that was zero threat to us? OH that's right, NOW we're changing history to say we went in to "help the Iraqi people"...instead of the real reason (yes, I have a memory), which is because Saddam was messing around with the weapons inspectors and being a jerk...which of course gave us the "in" we were looking for to invade! But this is off-topic of course....

Let's see, tracking down cheaters...let's call it a cool million dollars to do this(and don't be naive, the entire Army is NOT going to go after cheaters). Iraq? Well, we bought that country didn't we...100 Billion? My vote goes with tracking down the cheaters. lol. But hey, guess I'm not "paying enough taxes" aye?
