Would video games get you to join the Army?

The U.S. Army has spent $12 million on a new facility in Philadelphia that abandons the use of recruiters selling the Army life in favor of video games and loud rock music, according to a Reuters report.

I would be very interested to meet the kids that play a game like Call of Duty 4, where you are overwhelmed by an endless series of insurgents bent on murdering you and eventually you die in a nuclear blast, then decide "Hey, this would be even more fun in real life!".

I don't think I'm strong enough or (tough) enough to handle a video game recruiting system yet. Maybe some more WAWar will do it. Training mon a video game? There is no other way. For sure.
