[PHILOSPHY MODE ON]

Sorry Wombat, we share an interest in the same fine firearm but I believe that our ages are not the only difference between our generations.

My love of fine firearms and their unique engineering does not include games. The only simulations of this type that I can find value in, are those that are used to train the defenders of my country so that they can be their best. Only by being well trained do you increase the likelihood that you will not have to fight.

I spent 20 years, 3 months and 16 days in a green suit and muddy boots training, and preparing to defend my country should that be necessary. It was never a game. It never will be.

I believe that games such as this de-sensitize people to violence and diminish the value of human life.

I do not permit such things on my computer anymore than I would pornography. I take every opportunity to impart good moral values and judgement into the generations that follow me so that there will be just a little less chance that wars and street violence will happen.
