virtual reality?

"Ok, this is sickening. The now have a bunch of shootem up games from the military. They are very advanced and very realistic and very well done and they are FREE.

"Basically these free games are being used to train the future of america and recruit them at a very early age.

"Sort of unreal to me. We do need soldiers but this seems kind of creepy, no?"

in this context, what space does this fit into?

Mission 24 - Description
John Kerry's Silver Star


The low thunder of your engine churns up the water behind you as you lead three Swift Boats through the small tributaries deep in the Delta. The dense brush on either side is hiding people who want to kill you. This is the mission that won John Kerry a Silver Star, and similar “river raids” like it have claimed the lives of dozens of Swift Boat sailors before you.


i wonder if he's wishing now that a few more "swift boat" sailors had been taken out...

That is pretty bizarre, but at least it is just entertainment by private citizens.
