Army Opens New Office of Videogames

Posted by samzenpus on from the johnny-get-your-joystick dept.

An anonymous reader writes "For the first time, the Army has set up a project office, just for building videogames. The military has been training troops with games for decades, of course. But this is the first wing of the armed forces dedicated exclusively for gaming. One of the first projects: a tool kit that would let soldiers "build and customize their own training scenarios — just like the Marines' did, adapting Armed Assault for military purposes."

    ...but
    FUCK YOU! YOU PIECE OF SHIT!
    As a combat veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom (thats Afghanistan you uninformed retard)
    Valid arguments why you are a piece of shit...
    1. Afghanistan is famous for heroin, and opium.
    2. The Taliban has done much violence in "foreign billets"
    3.I won't say they rape anyone, but I'm sure a civilized homosexual would not say they are homosexual because they simply believe women are only for procreation.
    4. You'd let a 11 year old shoot you in the face and die proudly.
