having spent 10 years in the military, training (and deploying) for war, i can attest to the fact that video games (i'm also a big-time gamer) cannot train someone for war. sure, you can get some great ideas from the minds of video game story writers, and movie script writers, but a video game in no way prepares you for rounds buzzing past your face in a 2 hour firefight.
but i agree it would make a great map - maybe for BF2
