Now all we need is "HALO" style threat radar in the lower left corner of the screen...

The Army has a huge online multiplayer first person shooter out for free called America's Army. The file size is almost 1Gig (takes forever to download), but the cd can be picked up at any recruiter's office. It utilizes the same weapons our troops have in the field. You have to go through basic training to play online, and it is tough. This is one of the reasons why we have some of the best soldiers in the world.

I thought AA was pretty neat. Got through basic, but the game itself wasn't my cup of tea. I prefer Counterstrike: Source

Why have a guy ride in the Hummer? I'd just as soon control it from here. I might have to move the fridge to the computer room...

I remember an NCO who used to always go on and on about the laziness and worthlessness of the "Nintendo generation" of soldiers. But oh, how confused he was by our advanced navigation and communication equipment! And he had NO trust in the CROW systems.

After seeing how efforlessly our younger troops and NCO's could navigate, communicate, and defend convoys, he seemed to lighten up a little on all of us young whipper-snappers :)

"I think that may actually exist."

You probably wouldn't need it with night vision, but I believe you are correct.

I'm sure I read something about a system with a motion sensor that reacts to movement.

I'll take one of those as well please.

Reminds me of the robo sentries off of the extended version of Aliens 2.

And if you are over 40, you can't play it. I can never tell who is the enemy or even see them half the time.

Yep just put them on the border in overlapping fire zones, and enjoy. Have the border patrol dropp off additional crates of ammo as needed. :)
