Video games and War

I remember when these war video games came out and everyone was buying them just after the 9/11 attacks. It just seems like overnight everyone was buying these games for the reason every one want to feel like they were fighting termism.  I remember having a few of these games and seeing the ones that the military had on their recruitment tables at my high school. Playing those games made me feel like I was more patriotic, like I might have felt for everyone else who played those games. The military was smart to put out these games to help with games to put recruitment and to make a simple teen ager or young adult feel like they could actually be in combat. I think they made these video games not only to get people to join up but in case if America was ever attacked we could have a citizen militia. Either way these video games were just for some peoples entertainment but for others it was a calling to have them join the military. Also they wanted us to think of war as like a game so we wouldn’t feel bad about our actual military killing real and innocent people overseas. Then there were the rumors about how the controller and controls in the video game will be Identical to the new helicopters and tanks that were being built and could be power without anyone in them.  SO that we could have drone war machines and not risk losing and soldiers.
