Its almost like saying that playing a nascar game is a test drive of driving in a real race. Problem is, its not. They are both GAMES and should be treated as such, especially when it comes to someone potentially putting they're life at risk, because of something they saw in a video game. “The game has been an effective recruiting tool for the army, allowing potential recruits to “test drive” Soldiering in the U.S. Army from basic training to the battlefield.”
