This reminds me of Sons of Liberty and what Snake said about the diminished sense of reality with VR Training:
RAIDEN: I was a part of the Army's Force XXI trials... PLISKEN: Force XXI? That's about tactical IT deployment, right? PLISKEN: Any field experience? RAIDEN: No -- not really. PLISKEN: So this is your first. RAIDEN: I've had extensive training -- PLISKEN: the kind that's indistinguishable from the real thing. PLISKEN: Like what? RAIDEN: Sneaking mission 60, RAIDEN: Weapons 80, PLISKEN: VR, huh. RAIDEN: But realistic in every way. PLISKEN: A virtual grunt of the digital age. That's just great. RAIDEN: That's far more effective than live exercises. PLISKEN: You don't get injured in VR, do you? PLISKEN: Every year, a few soldiers die in field exercises. RAIDEN: There's pain sensation in VR, and even a sense of reality and urgency. PLISKEN: The only difference is that it isn't actually happening. PLISKEN: That's the way they want you to think, PLISKEN: to remove you from the fear that goes with battle situations. PLISKEN: War as a video game -- PLISKEN: what better way to raise the ultimate soldier?
RAIDEN: Snake, have you ever -- enjoyed killing someone? RAIDEN:I'm not sure. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between reality and a game... SNAKE: Diminished sense of reality, huh? VR training will do that.
Makes me wonder if it's a good idea... The whole video-game-as-training. But maybe I've been playing too much Metal Gear Solid.

LOL!
Damn, am I the only one that got that joke ?
Then shouldn't the Navy be in Alaska right now?
Or FOX-HOUND?
*keeps an eye out for Shalashaska and Otacon*
(BTW it's "Metal Gear Rex")
