Remember when you could get the good, old hard stuff like Hustler and Cheri in the PX? Then everyone had to go to the off limit skin mag joints off post to get the smut before going somewhere. Now they even put Maxim behind a cover. Fags.Bravo57 wrote:Like when those fuckers took Playboy out of the PX?

Military bans video game that 'kills' US troops
by Anne Flaherty, Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Military bases across the U.S. have banned the sale of a new video game that lets a player pretend to be a Taliban fighter and "shoot" U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
"Medal of Honor" by Electronic Arts, a major game developer based in Redwood City, Calif., hits stores Oct. 12. Gamers are scoffing at the decision, saying that advanced technology has made it commonplace in the gaming world to let players switch sides and play the bad guy.
After public protests, including by British Defense Secretary Liam Fox, U.S. military officials decided not to stock the game in any of the nearly 300 base exchange shops.
The game also won't be sold at any of the 49 GameStop stores located on various military bases. Troops will be allowed to own copies, but they would have to buy them off-base.
"We regret any inconvenience this may cause authorized shoppers, but are optimistic that they will understand the sensitivity to the life-and-death scenarios this product presents as entertainment," said Maj. Gen. Bruce Casella, who commands the Army & Air Force Exchange Service, which oversees more than 180 base exchange shops.

Re: Medal of Honor Game Banned by AAFES
This whole thing has been blown way out of proportion. Because of these people making a big deal out of a video game, that, oh by the way, the Army and DOD collaberated with EA on, It is now personally affecting my work as a recruiter. dicks.
