It’s a bit surreal. A soldier assigned to the Reaper and Predator program may see combat at 2:00pm, and then go home at 5:30pm and stop for Taco Bell on the way home. Esquire managed to get some really excellent access at the site, and spent some time with the the people responsible for helping defend the ground troops in Afghanistan.
So “the ultimate video game” is killing people for real? Typical American bullshit.
Someone’s never read Ender’s Game. Do a little reading and then come back here.
He’s being sarcastic you dolt. He’s poking fun at the fact that a “soldier” can now kill people using controls and a screen ala a video game, and his/her work can be like a 9-5 job. Kill someone you never met 4,000 miles away, then go buy a hamburger with your hard earned dollars from McDonalds. How amazingly American/capitalist is that!
It is disgusting, but what are you gonna do about it?
You could be on the shitter and kill people! Where do I sign up?
I’ll wait for the iphone app.
..hmm what happenned to “i voted for change!” and “impeached bush” ?
I’m glad obama is keeping it real…
