Food for thought... WWII
It's been a while, but I'm back.
I decided to join the majority of college guys and buy Xbox live, and spend time in between classes trying to build up my ranks to unlock guns and other stuff on Call of Duty. Anyway, this is not the important part.
The important part is the thought of...
"What if this was real?"
Yeah, it's fun and I'm never in real danger. But, what about the fact that I die 5-20 times a game... How did the real soldiers of WWII and Korea make it through a country of hidden soldiers, tanks and snipers. Any veteran of any war, you have my thanks. What you have done/are doing is amazing, and I doubt many of us could match your honor and commitment to our country.
The game only reaffirmed my belief that I wouldn't last one day in war, and has left me more amazed at our soldiers.
