US Army: Computer Games train to Kill

Forget all the prevarication in the corporate press, you can trust a military man to give it to you straight (United Press International, 'Videogames integral to U.S. military'). What effect do violent computer games have on people?

With videogame shooting experience before and after entering the military, today's recruits "probably feel less inhibited, down in their primal level, pointing their weapons at somebody," said Marine Lt. Col. Scott Sutton of the Quantico, Va., base. That "provides a better foundation for us to work with," Sutton told the newspaper.

So there you have it, straight from the horse's mouth. Who better to know if violent games train people to be killers than someone who, well, trains people to be killers?

[UPDATE]
The Washington Post has a more detailed article.
