    U.S. Governement Teaching Our Children To Kill Through Gaming

    America's Army 3

    America's Army (also known as AA or Army Game Project) is a series of video games and other media developed by the United States Army and released as a global public relations initiative to help with recruitment. "Using computer game technology to provide the public a virtual Soldier experience that was engaging, informative and entertaining."
    It was first released on July 4, 2002. Since then, there have been over 26 versions released, the most recent being America's Army 3.3. The game is financed by the U.S. government and distributed for free.

    I think it is very hypocritical of the media to slam the NRA for having NRA branded shooting game when our very own government has been teaching our children to kill as a recruiting tool for the last 11 years with a game funded by U.S. government (our tax dollars). Does this not sit well with anyone else regardless of what the NRA has or hasn't done? I sure would like to see more press coverage along with a official response from the Whitehouse on this!

    See the U.S. governement funded game:
