i see 1 of two things happening with this thread

 

1. most will ignore investigation into the accusation, and continue enjoying military government propaganda such as Call Of Duty.

2.  if there are to be a lot of responses, many will offer defense of this and most official propaganda masquerading as entertainment, continuing down their chosen path of woeful and willing ignorance.

 

 

 

I came across this link not too long ago that gives more detail on the Military Entertainment Complex

Militainment: U.S. Military Propaganda in the News Media, Hollywood, and Video Games

 

 

This reminds me of the arbitrary uproar that the  puppy video caused at a time when  1 million civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan are dead.

(the video evidence of human brutality concerning that 1 million plus number of people being available as well touches on the priorities of people.)

There's something very wrong with the majority of people.

I've read reports, of the US commiting attrocities, the Japanese commiting attrocities in Nan King.

I still don't see how the movie can't be entertaining. It's a movie it's fiction, the hero obviously didn't act realistic, I don't see what the problem with being entertained is. Call of Duty is a video game. If people go to Call of Duty for viewpoints on society today, then uhh... doesn't seem like the best source. So it serves its purpose as entertainment.

 

Whether or not you consider simulating real life murders that have occurred entertainment or not is your business,

but what you're being asked to consider from the article and the link I posted are whether or not they're propaganda or not.

 

 

Recently, Medal of Honor is a game that's publicly been said to be made in tandem with the military (at e3 of this year), if you watch/read Pentagon and Hollywood, you'll see that the military will only offer cooperation for an entertainment project if it serves as a vehicle for recruitment and public relations, i.e. propaganda.
