Wieso?
Was ist logischer als mit Kriegsspielen für die Armee zu werben.
Da die USA ein Berufsheer haben, müssen sie neue Rekruten irgendwo herbekommen.

Es wird nirgens verheimlicht, daß es ein Werbespiel der Armee ist, und so sehe ich nichts verwerfliches daran.

Q: Is this a recruiting tool?
A: <gekürzt>As in the past, the Army's success in attracting high-potential young adults is essential to building the world's premier land force. With the passage of time, elimination of the draft and reductions in the size of the Army have resulted in a marked decrease in the number of Americans who have served in the Army and from whom young adults can gain vicarious insights into the challenges and rewards of Soldiering and national service. Therefore, the game is designed to substitute virtual experiences for vicarious insights. It does this in an engaging format that takes advantage of young adults' broad use of the Internet for research and communication and their interest in games for entertainment and exploration.

Wobei es natürlich witzig ist, daß sie au ihrer FAQ-Seite schreiben, daß es total unmöglich ist, vom Spiel zu lernen wie man Waffen benutzt, gleichzeitig aber das hier sagen:

Q: Could someone learn to save a life with the Medics module?
A: ...players are learning some basics of lifesaving.

In the Medics training, which takes place at Brook Army Medical Center, players sit through lectures in a classroom setting where they learn how to assess a medical situation, control bleeding, and treat shock. Players are then tested on the medical info. The information given is directly from an actual Army medical center and is medically accurate. So, in actuality players are learning some basics of lifesaving.

Was ich beachtlich finde ist, daß sie die Durchdringugnsfähigkeit von Kugel berücksichtigt haben - ein Baum bringt halt als Deckung nichts.
