I have mixed feelings about this, on the one hand FUCKING COOL!

On the other, it smacks of brainwashing and propaganda. :Smug:

whenever Armed Forces Day would roll around, we'd get to ride on my dad's self propelled howitzers and shit.

so this is old hat to kids from military families. but for you civilian civilians, woooooooo you;re gonna get sucked into the military industrial complex.

p.s. the other day I actually saw toy guns for sale in Target. that's a real change.

Then package it
And profit from the people who died

Watching Over There right now, my new coworker just got back from his 2nd tour in Iraq and he says it's spot on accurate. He also says, "killing your first guy is damn tough. After that it gets pretty easy."
