"SAN FRANCISCO (August 6, 2008) – About 50 anti-war activists targeted the video game maker Ubisoft today to “help stop the Army’s child recruitment program” in the form of the free “America’s Army” game. Organizers noted that the game “targets children as young as 13” while South Park game companies Ubisoft, Gameloft, and Secret Level were profiting from the illegal recruitment program.

“America’s Army”—available since 2002 as a free download—is a game developed by the U.S. military to instruct players in “Army values,” portray the army in a positive light, and increase potential recruits. The “game” is the property and brainchild of the US Army, which admit freely, and with pride, that it is one of their principal recruitment tools.

The military recruitment of children under the age of 17, however, is a clear violation of international law (the U.N. Optional Protocol on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict).

SOCOM is better because you can load out any way you want. M40A1, scope, pistol, and an AT-4.

How about a game with a bit more realism... where terrorists round up and slaughter millions of minorities, homosexuals, and liberals... the game concludes with the survivors begging America for help.

Never mind, Most kids would rather play "Grand-Theft-Auto" where they get points for murder, theft, and rape. Any Liberals ever protest that game?

TREASON is not protected speech.

How many 13 year olds are in the Army?

Our army? None.

In the North Vietnamese army during the Vietnam war?
In the Palestinian wars against Israel?
In the "insurgents" war against the newly established Iraqi government?

You'll have to ask these enemies of the state why their side always recuits little kids.

Vernon Troyer hasn’t gone code pinko, has he? Is he that desperate for the company of women?

For some reason, this picture reminds me of Star Wars.

I see war wounded every day, I have friends who have been to Iraq, and I *still* am planning on making the Army my career. Yeah, stupid liberals, there are PLENTY of people who CHOOSE to serve their country, knowing that this is a high risk job. We don’t talk about the risks so much as the OPPORTUNITIES. Because it’s an honor to serve—not that libs know anything of honor, or of what it takes to keep them free to act like idiots.

Oh, yeah, my husband knew the development team who put that game together. I’d like to play it sometime, I’ve not had the chance. I even have it on CD somewhere.
