Moore speaks about Bush

Like I said, I find AA to be a very realistic game depecting war as best they can within their limits (technical, political, etc). A documentary might have fewer limits but it's just as biased, if not more so. If the Army was to publish something with people shooting flowers out of their guns or what have you, they would be sharply critized. A private filmmaker however, doesn't really need to worry about that.

The "war is fun" America Army game has a 5 year start on shaping young minds.

Political limits? The America Army game is an ad for the army, it's job is to filter out the ugly parts of war and make being in the army look like a fun time. It isn't a result of "technical or political limits" that the game plays like it does (A terrorist skin or civilian AI can't be that technically difficult, I see them in games all the time)

The government is censoring any audiovisual experience that does not vibe with their version of reality. Of course the government doesn't want the kids to see a documentary that might make them actually think about the real effects of war, or will cause them to question why a nation's leader would decide to go to war. This is the reason why many of the youth have a simplistic "video game" war mentality.

Fun? I would say that AA isn't the most fun game out there. Sure different people find different things fun but waiting out a round because you weren't careful enough or being thrown in Lavenworth (sp?) because you're granade took down a teammate isn't "fun". But then because it's a videogame it has to be fun. Along those lines, shooting cops, doing drugs, cutting people limb for limb is great fun. If AA portrays war as fun then what about most every other video game out there? People are buying games that are much more violent than AA that promote war (BF1942, CoD, and MoHAA are three of the bigest FPSs out for the PC now and have sold more copies than have been downloaded of AA). Also noted, AA is more realistic than any of them.
 
Yeah, but they weren't created with taxpayer dollars as an explicit advertisement for the Army.

I'd say that's a pretty huge difference.

whatever, Bush is an unsatisfactory president. Kerry would be more successful. i mean, he has at least an above average intelligence. can't say the same for bush.
