They have a completely virtual simulation of a raid in Iraq

 

It looks mad fun.

    The U.S. Army has used games to recruit for awhile.   America's Army.

    That's a computer game.. it doesn't use a real Humvee and realistic guns to simulate REAL situations.

    I dosen't suprise me. Way back they used DOOM as simulation for soliders. I mean the ARMY will take anybody as long as you got your legs and hands, so for anybody to think, "OMG I'm a Gamer, That's so Cool, I should join too." should stop right now.

    I thought they are hiring gamers because they are inventing robots...those gamers will control the robots during a raid or a battle...

    Actually the Army has been using stuff like that for years. Called the VARC if I remember correctly.
