What do they use to train fighter pilots and other armed forces members to be killers? Advanced computer simulations of combat situations...otherwise known as video games. Any corellation there? |
other than hand eye coordination and faster visual reflexes no, youre trying to draw a distinction that video game smake them violent or killers, it doesnt, they become violent killers after being systematically starved and drilled for 6 weeks straight. The 1st rule of military training is to strip down thier individuality, make them feel like they are not a person but part of a unit and take away thier morality on the battlefield.
The video games just give them sharper skills. Does firing a gun at the practice range make people into killers/? No it simply sharpens thier skills.
