I think the opening 20 mins of Saving Pvt Ryan is a very good intro to what real combat can be like as opposed to the silliness of a COD, MOH, or other video game. Grim necessity, pain, futility, and death. No glory, no cheering, no BOOYAH!

If all a kid sees is COD, I can picture them thinking that hey, real war can't be that bad?

If a kid sees the assault on Omaha Beach, even a Hollywood-ized version of it, how can they think it's NOT?

COD today is just what Q3A was over 10 years ago with the veneer of authentic military forces.
