War is a Video Game?

Despite the arguments I get by making this point. War is not a video game and you can be trained using a video game. It is nowhere near what you need to survive in the field. I do believe you can increase your hand eye coordination with the simulations but if you think that will train you to be able to aim while on the run and with explosions going off all around you, you must be completely out of your mind. Do you even know how loud a gun is? That all alone will throw the common person off. Now shoot a moving target 100 yards away with mortars dropping around you creating mini shock waves around you and with return fire flying 10 feet over your head. No training simulation could ever prepare you for that type of mental punishment. No if you have an iPod in that's another story....
