The Army using sims to recruit. It seems that the person who wrote this story is afraid that Army sims will hypnotize the general public into mindless soldiers. Pity. I find it hard to believe that the Army could come up with any game more graphic in violence and scope also addictive then what is available now.
Sim blister, Sim clean latrine, The original poster must have a maid to clean his bathrooms and a cart to move around back and fourth. I hope anybody who ever joins the Army, or try out the "Army Sims" are not fooled into thinking that the Army will clean your latrines and do your laundry. I hope people are not fooled into thinking that in the Army you don't have to walk, run, jump, climb ie get blisters.
If anyone is considering getting hypnotized will consult me first so that I can remind them that the Army involves doing many mundane tasks that they currently do for themselves now, (at least most of us, apparently the original poster doesn't, hence his need to remind everyone else that they will start doing so upon entering the Army).
I will say that I don't think the Army can come up with a sim where you or you see your friends die a horrible death at the hands of the enemy and then later you can't do anything to them when you capture them because of people, in the U.S. or other decadent nations, like the original poster would protest, whine etc.
Also the last statement, about approval ratings: Lets leave Iraq alone and hope he the muslim nations all of a sudden stop preaching hatred to their young people in their schools and Sadam will stop threatening the world with weapons of mass destruction. After all they were peaceful cultures before we interfered with them.
Finaly, I hope the Army fails and eventually the Army dissapears due to lack on enrollment. After all some people, societies, cultures are not worth saving. If some of the men and women of the current armed forces new these people they would probably all leave. But don't let that worry anyone, after all who needs the Army right?
By the way I'm out of work web/java developer - veteran who has a longer memory and apparently a better education than the oringal poster.
