Re: U.S. Military Recruits Children with Video Games

Seeing as it is a fact that people can be influenced by said methods I am wondering what one can do about the situation. Only 'evil' organisations would tread so low as to use it, so by not using it, would not the benefits and therefore the advantages go to the 'evil' groups?

Then again, is it not so that such groups can only form by use of leverage such as values, which would have to be instated by other groups and that, in fact such values form an 'ideal image' which leads to children wanting to act in such 'evil ways' as depicted in their games?

So, would not the usage of such an 'ideal image' be at fault, rather than the game? And if so, would not the formation of such 'ideal images' be the thing to work against, instead of the games themselves?
