You’ve been spending way too much time, Jason, in virtual realty.

This would have been the first Gulf War, if I have my timing right. And it did seem like a video game with all the in-cockpit video and gun camera footage all over TV.

Further proof that Jason has played WAY too many video games and seriously needs to cut back.

At least he said “Oh, yeah” and not “So?”

Try to imagine if all the world-leaders played (War) video-games instead of playing with REAL-Lives…

Or maybe experiment with Civilization/Social Building Sim Games.

“Or children playing games that are really war.”

As long as it’s being done NERF or Super-Soakers guns, I’m cool with that…

I think the people flying those drones from half way around the world forget it that it is war and not a video game.

It is well that war is so terrible lest we grow fond of it – Robert E. Lee.

In this day of smart bombs and dumb politicians, has war lost its terror?

If we were to have conducted the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan for 73 years, our casualties would have matched the losses sustained by the British on the first day of the Battle of the Somme in WW I – all to gain some meager amount of ground after going over the top. The mortality rate could have been measured in deaths per centimeter.
