Anything to get a Democrap back in the White house..

Got you coverd.. move move move..

Of course AA is a recruitment tool! Why would the US army put so much time and money into such a great game if they didn't expect to see a return? Plus, I bet it offers those who play a head start in training.

just to be clear about this, I have no problem with the idea of a game as propaganda. it's an awsome idea on their part.

Yes, because that's exactly the image Dean wants to portray. A badass tough fighter. Well, at least people are trying a different argument now that that whole 'unelectable' thing has been shown to be bulls**t time and time again.

Eh, let Bush finish what he started. I haven't noticed if any of the democrats are running on a pro-war yet different domestic policy platform... that would be the only way I might vote for one. Pulling out of Iraq now would have far worse consequences than attacking it in the first place.

And way to be like 4 years late on the realization that America's Army is a recruitment tool.

To me it's just a game, since the proper demographic it's geared towards is not my nationality. I played it in its early versions, haven't played in a few years now though.

As if we cared if you feel we're a fool Cass.. You tend to run off at the mouth alot.. why dont you stick something in it, and shut the f**k up. Sheeesh man your full of your self. you think your the autority on everything.. and you come off like an ass.. but then thats just my opinion.

I'm not much up on US politics, but whatever happens, surly noody wants Bush replaced by someone worse. Just thinking about that man gets me livid.

Sure AA is a recruitement tool, but it can only take one so far. It only shows the good side of the military. Mind you I love the military so I am not trying to bash it. Simply showing the thruth.

The army isnt like in the game, sure you get to shoot and do mock up combat senarios but what they dont show is the actual basic training.

You've all played OP4 boot camp, The sarge yelling at you and insulting you is daily routine in basic training. If you've seen Full Metal Jacket, the sarge yelling at the soldiers and insulting them is the same as in the real deal. They want to test your breaking limits. But they dont show that in AA. They dont show all the physical training, they just show the shooting.

And on top of that, its not everybody that can pick up an M-16 and fire off 5 rounds on a 100 foot range with an average grouping WHILE standing. I've shot alot in my life, ranging from air rifles, BB pistols, .22 cal, Lee Enfields and up to the real deal, C7 (Canadian version of M-16), HK-91 sniper, and the Steyr Aug which you all know. But never was I able to shoot staning to military standards. Even if I was able to get my sniper quals in AA I am still can only reach basic marksman in real life.

AA shouldnt really be considered a recuirtment tool but more of a real life shooter just like the Rainbow Six series.

AA is a good game. The army is a great organisation. But AA does not fully depict military life. My dad was in the military, I am affiliated with the military to a certain extent. And I can tell you AA only shows off the good stuff. If you join the military only because you want to shoot the s**t out of someone like in AA, you are in for a suprise.
