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.
