I'm a Vietnam vet, and for what it's worth, I think some people are way too uptight. I think a company that lets a few complainers talk 'em out of making a game is just too uptight too. If I'd been to Iraqistan, and had experiences like I had in Vietnam, and then played a game, like some of the recent war games, I'd just remember that it's a friggin' GAME, and if I don't like it, I don't have to play it. These games ARE supposed to be for adults, and if adults don't like it, they too can turn it off. Myself, I'd like to play it, and I think that if it made people THINK a little, if it made war a little more appalling, scary, well, that'd be GOOD. We need more games and less war, but that's just one man's opinion. I earned the right to one.
Peace.
