As I'm not American and I was very young at the time he was on the scene, I must say that I'm not really familiar with Oliver North. I've heard his name and I know he has to do with the military, but that's about it. But if you make a game that portrays American warfare in the eighties, I'd say Oliver North fits in there rather naturally, don't you think? I don't know anything about America's Army either, but from the name alone I guess you could say that it's a bit pro military. Is the military a right wing thing? |
Oliver North isn't just any military dude, he is one of the key figures in the Iran-Contra affair. As that is one of the biggest foreign politics blunders of the second half of the last century, I would say that is pretty much a very sensitive political topic. Having business with Oliver North back then is as shady as having some with Epstein in the past few years. It was discussion how much the Reagan-administration was involved in the deal, but one thing is pretty clear: Oliver North was involved.

As for Americas Army: I directly said it doesn't fit into right or left wing scheme. Because as much as that might surprise you, a lot of politic issues don't directly fit into dems vs. reps or right vs. left wing. But propaganda for the american military and their causes is clearly political.
