Mate, there would be far better terrorist training tools than this game. ‘America’s Army’ for example. Which is free curtesy of the US Government as a recruiting tool, and which features much more realistic gun ballistics and squad tactics than this chucklesome romp. Even then, I don’t see the US Army abandoning its traditional training methods and letting all its recruits play a computer game all day to train them up for the ‘stan do you?

Nope. The US Army will continue to do what has worked well for over 200 years.

Would I put it past a fringe terrorist cell to supplement their PT and combat training with video-game conditioning? Nope — in fact, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they do it now.
