Weapons of Mass Distraction

“America’s Army and Delta Force: Black Hawk Down are the ‘Why We Fight‘ for the digital generation. Though not explicitly doctrinaire in an ideological sense, by showing the very young how we fight, applying the moral application of lethal force on behalf of liberal values, these games create the wartime culture that is so desperately needed now. One hopes they’ll inspire the best gamers to consider a career of military service, while preparing them for the battles to come.” Wagner James AuWeapons of Mass DistractionSalon)
