"Why we Fight"...Is it Right??
This article makes one question the war. I am one that is anti-war and does not fully agree with why we are in this war with Iraq. I am all about peace, and this war has been going on for way too long. The Iraqi people were promised peace, and have yet to get it. I think a lot of other terrorist groups are scared to attack the USA now, due to the war. That's a good thing. I don't think it's okay to go and kill someone and be honored for it. I do support our troops though and hope for their safety return back. I do believe that the war we are in is immorral and we need to end it sooner than later.

Game and War
So, after reading the article about this army game, I'm kind of confused as to how I feel about it. I don't like the fact that the army has this game that is trying to pursuade young people to join the army because of the negative things that happen through the game. Then I look at it as a marketing tool and think that it's awesome because if you catch kids at the age of 13, who are ignorant and don't know much better, they will feed into whatever messages the game is giving and sign up to fight.
I don't blame the parents, but if the parents don't like the game and the kid is very young then they can take it away from them and call it that. I never personally played the game, so I'm only repsonding on behalf of the reading. I don't encourage vilence, but if the child comes from a family with morals and respect for others, then no game should be able to drastically change their mind and view about anything.
