I don't share the same enthusiasm as you two, in fact it makes me a bit sick to my stomach to think how you compare the two.
I served in Iraq back in 2004 and I watched many people die from I.E.D.'s and other explosive devices that were set up against us. Being a medic I saw all of the wounded and I can tell you that cleaning out the back of a 4 ton truck that had 12 soldiers in it who were hit by an I.E.D. is nothing like that of a cartoon video game.
Games are not real, the conflict in the Middle East is. Comparing a cartoon video game device that's meant for entertainment to a real life threat against human beings who are dying for their country is distasteful.
