Do you think the US Armys computer game recruiting plan is good, bad, or indifferent?
I recognize that the army is having difficulty getting recruits, now that many get sent to distant locations like Iraq and Afghanistan, and therefore they have to ‘sex up’ the army. Also, the computer gamer probably is a target market for them: young males. Still, I think they cross a border here. The army is nothing like a computer game, and any person getting involved in the army should do that very consciously. However, by offering free gameplay in exchange for them to give them a recruitment-opportunity seems terribly wrong as far as I am concerned. So, I understand why they do it, but I don’t agree.
