Thats a very elequent and well thought out reply.
Sometimes gamers do come in for some uncalled for stick, because we like to play games like this. I enjoy playing games like this as do many others and as a rule can see the "fantasy" side of these kind of RPG games.
But I do agree that they do de-sensitize the truths and absolute horrors of real war. And tragic consequences that war brings.
I'm sure I speak for us all when I say, my mere words cannot express the gratitude we feel for what our armed forces have to go through, to keep this country a safe and free thinking place to live in. Where we can all openly express our opinions without fear of any kind of retribution.
