US Army creates a computer game as a recruitment tool

Army uses propaganda to get more recruits. What is so wrong with that? You'd rather they conscript?
No, I'd rather they didn't use propaganda.
I wonder why it's OK when it's your own governments propaganda - but as soon as you start talking about things like the Hilter Youth, or Jihad for Kids, it's wrong?
don't you know, you're own government is always right.
<Kassiopeia> you don't keep the virgins in your lair at a sodomising distance from your beasts or male prisoners. If you devirginised them yourself, though, that's another story. If they devirginised each other, then, I hope you had that webcam running. Play Bumps!No, wait, play Slings!

What is the goal of the US Army propaganda? To get people to volunteer for the Army, but showing them what they do. How is this like Hitler Youth's propaganda? This smacks of an analogy that doesn't fit.
“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Exactly, they want people in the army. They are reqruiting kids to kill and die on their behalf, to become loyal serveants to their government - just like the Hitler Youth or Jihad for Kids.
This is what propaganda is, it is the same no matter who is doing it. I suppose the fact that most people don't mind their own governments propaganda while at the same time being outraged at the propaganda of their enemies is a testimony to how well it works.
You are too funny. Of course TV Advertising and Video Games are the same thing as constant bombardment of a certain view. Unless you have a channel that only consists of US military commericals, you are just being silly.
And what is so wrong with propaganda, no matter what form it is in? You going to ban companies advertising as well?
edit: One of the major differences is that Hitler Youth and Jihad for Kids is aimed toward KIDS. US Army propaganda is aimed for 17-25 year olds. BIG difference.

What an interesting use of our tax money.
Actually, in terms of recruiting. This pays off.
It didnt cost much in the way of taxes. You dont have to hire anyone, the army has there own programmers. The army also has there own CD manufacturing centers and publishers.
So was it a waste? I dont think so. I think it pays off when people Join up.
As for non-us getting ahold of it. Who cares? Go on Kazaa I can get anything from anywhere.
