If they created a beta web site and invited people to subscribe to the game, I'll bet they'd get some very competent teenage players. Maybe they could let them work their way up through various levels, and when they reached the top level, they could trade in their rifles and bazookas for Predators and al Qaeda targets.

For infantry pre-basic training, it's been done. It's called America's Army. About a 250M download, realistic first person shooter. You and I paid for it.

Supposedly, when they rev the game, you won't be able to download it; you'll have to pick up a CD at the local recruiting office. 21st century marketing.
