WW3 will happen on this digital playground, Russia is going to see it and copy it with the Chinese technology, then a Aussie hack is going to pout because his country has no electronic virtual grid to kill other ppl from other nations, so then sent a 5 star general a virus via email.

5 star general Alt+Tabs out of Virtual combat opens email... then let you immagination go on with what you want, but im picturing a godzilla kangaroo in the middle of the battlefield.

Nintendo Generation

The military is an adaptable force, it is so by necessity, it cannot afford to rest on its laurels or let bias get in the way of accomplishing a goal. "The Brass" as they are collectively known have figured out that what they call the Nintendo Generation of US citizens and soldiers are in some areas superior to their forebearers and in some area inferior to them largely because of modern culture, technology, and videogaming.

For instance, I have seen interviews of Soldiers serving in Iraq who felt battle was "just like the videogames" and in this experience found themselves quite cool and collected, placing accurate and timely fire that in years past would have taken real combat experience to accomplish. This works for the Armor crewman, Artillery crewman, or Pilot even better than it does for the Infantryman.

These LAN systems and videogames will be used in conjunction with live fire exercises and, in the case of Infantryman, MOUT training to build a an effective method of giving a US Soldier effective "combat experience" even in peace time.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
