I do agree that a 13 year old shouldn't be playing video games that simulate shooting and killing or any other kind of violence, but it should be up to the parents to make sure their kids aren't playing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-80999997270628331762008-07-03T20:39:00.000-05:002008-07-03T20:39:00.000-05:00Anony, for #1, it is our tax dollars going towards...Anony, for #1, it is our tax dollars going towards it. The game, however inappropriate it may be, is paid for by the company that makes it.<BR/><BR/>For #2, if they wanted reality, why not pictures of wounded and dead soldiers and civilians. That's part of the reality as well.capperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751967312821403092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-13593303517135558292008-07-03T20:17:00.000-05:002008-07-03T20:17:00.000-05:00anonymous, I've got one thing.1.

If the simulation is truly a recruiting tool - as some have tried to argue - then why are kids as young as 13 being allowed to play? 13 year-olds certainly can't join the Army, so why let them play?Zach W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08961303805266463551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-73271245005746468252008-07-03T14:04:00.000-05:002008-07-03T14:04:00.000-05:00I have 2 things.1.

I'm not sure how good of a tool this could be for this, but having the virtual soldier game could help someone who wants to join the army determine if they have what it takes to kill someone if placed in combat. Better to learn it at game time before signing up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-18174441900337622012008-07-03T13:10:00.000-05:002008-07-03T13:10:00.000-05:00Maybe they could have a simulation of a recruiter ...Maybe they could have a simulation of a recruiter pressuring a high school kid with lines like "Sure, if you don't like boot camp, just say the word, and you can go home, no questions asked, and they rip up your contract right in front of you."Display Namehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842340986220388709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-6993610878367405772008-07-03T11:32:00.000-05:002008-07-03T11:32:00.000-05:00The mice have taken over Summerfest.The mice have taken over Summerfest.Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-39524701611042238712008-07-03T09:35:00.000-05:002008-07-03T09:35:00.000-05:00Personally, I think it's okay for them to have a s...Personally, I think it's okay for them to have a simulation like that.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11858897726870661930noreply@blogger.com
