I agree, wouldn't it honor the military more to allow them to choose what they want to play!?lacktheknack said:
1) 4 years in the navy and going to army bases sometimes I have never seen a Gamestop.
2) This is banned, but CoD and past Medal of Honor games are soled frequently in NEX's and PEX's, but I guess it is ok to play games in wars in which almost all of the veterans are dead today, but it isn't ok to play in recent war games. Just games that take place and and have a different story line.
This is what happens when countries don't go to war. There is nothing for the admirals(navy side) to do but sit around the table and make up stupid policies. Trust me it is one of the reasons I got out.

I bet that past Call of Duty games were sold in on-base stores, though. Meh - it's probably because the Nazi issue wasn't as recent, so I suppose it makes some sense. However, I don't think that this game should be completely banned from all stores.
This is the same military that doesn't let you be gay. To them you are not people, you are their playthings.lacktheknack said:
And I don't find it necessary to post something saying i support the military or what-not, because it's stupid to have to justify any statement when there is the freedom of speech that plainly states i can say whatever i want.
This opens the window to other countries to ban any game that depicts them as a bad guy. And as of late, Russia will have a lot to ban.
The military doesn't forbid you from being gay, as that's quite impossible. You just can't be open about it, which is still pretty bad.whaleswiththumbs said:
The people in charge of this "Dont ask, don't tell" policy really should read up on the Sacred Band of Thebes.
As for other countries suddenly going on banning sprees, I wouldn't be surprised if Russia has banned such games from their military establishment.
There's a lot of things on bases. I remember eating at a Subway on Wright-Patterson AFB.Nimbus said:
You have to think about PTSD going off on people who aren't purchasing the game, but just walking into the barracks and seeing terrorist kill their fellow brothers in arms. I think it might not set well, and might begin an heated discussion on a base, especially a base deep in Afghanistan. This would be horrible for morale and those troops don't need to live in the "Jersey Shore" house as well as getting shot at everyday. Even though these people are grown adults, sometimes its better to be safe than sorry, especially in those situations.
Every time I believe that people in my country couldn't possibly become any stupider than they already are, someone goes and makes a decision like this and completely proves me wrong.
military bases are somewhat like small towns. Some are better than others, but most have grocery stores, schools, and even malls. dont forget there are families living on military bases as well so it shouldnt be too surprising there are video game stores.
