Apparently the St. Louis Post-Dispatch has published a story saying that about 100 veterans of the Iraqi war marched near a demonstration of America's Army with shouts of 'war is not a game'.
Now really, wouldn't you prefer to have games based somewhat on your experiences rather than be forgotten in history? We have world war two games, do you hear any WW2 vets enraged by it? We have Vietnam games, the last heavily opposed war before the Iraq war, but I haven't heard any outcries about that.
And you can use their slogan against them. Yes, war is not a game, it's up to the audience to glorify the war or not. To me they aren't glorifying the war, they are honoring those who have died. But that's my thoughts on it. Don't get bent out of shape over a game, people.
