Sun Tzu to Xbox, American's Army website

In the website there is a part that called Real Heroes. Those who are in the army fighting enemies for the sake of freedom of the USA. It seem to me that in the time of war with terrorist,it is a tool to encourage and support their countrymen soldier. I didn't see it as a wrong tool to support and encourage people to see some sense of the reality of war stradegy. But what is bother me a bit is the way they advertise it to be exiciting. The excitement could be aword to describe a game, but it never have that kind of emotion in the real war.

I think, there are no glorious in the real war. There are not a true judge whether which side are bad,or good. I think, the game can be mislead the real meaning of war in a morality sense, even though it provide accuracy information such as geographical based on real locations and weapon could fire the certain amount of rounds before reloading, etc. Although how close the tactic and stimulate of the game imitate the real war, it never have the real feel and sense of emotion in the real war. It didn't do the justice of the way you deal with certain citizen of the "enemies", understanding the situation and people in which war games could never stimulate those real facts.

Military can show people what they have to offer. The games and website encourage people to join the army. It is also help them to judge whether they want to join the army.
