Jack Thompson has issued a press release suggesting the U.S. Department of Defense is involved in an "unholy alliance" with the gaming industry, with the aim of turning kids into violent, remorseless killers.
According to a report by GamePolitics, Thompson said he will be training his guns on the U.S. military in the new year as a result of its continued collaboration with the game industry.

He swore up and down that the U.S. Navy was responsible for that also. To him it was, "Damn the Russian hydrogen peroxide torpedos, full conspiracy ahead!";)
