War is Not A Game

America´s Army, a multiplayer networked game of the extremely popular tactical first-person shooter genre, provides young Americans with a virtual web-based environment in which they can explore Army career.

However, the game makes Iraq war veterans strongly protest.

About 90 Iraq war veterans, dressed in black shirts, stood in formation Saturday afternoon in front of military recruiters at America´s Center and shouted their protest message three times: "War is not a game!"

They were referring to the large military simulation game set up by Army recruiters... The group of veterans, known as Iraq Veterans Against the War, were in St. Louis for their annual meeting this weekend when they decided to stage a brief demonstration at the Expo.
