Re: The Real Reason....

The US army are looking to trial remote control robot 'soldiers'. The robot has onboard video cameras and the images are relayed back to a user sat behind a screen who is controlling the robot and its weapons. I was trying to suggest that instead of all these kids fighting imaginary computer generated creatures they could do it for real. So in reality those of us who play games liek Doom/2/3, Unreal, Half Life, Wolfenstein etc have in effect unknowingly been in training to be soldiers.

HTH, HAND
