More on video games and combat

Yesterday, we mentioned an article that suggested that video games might help train people to be better soldiers. It inspired quite a bit of discussion on our forum. Today, MIT’s Technology Review has an article about what soldiers in Iraq do on their off-time… and it seems a lot of it is ‘play video games’. The end of the article, however, suggests that the soldiers themselves don’t think that the game-playing gets them any more prepared for real combat – another set of voices, weighing in.
