[awdrifter3]

He needs to play Trauma Center. lol.

[adreanix]

i, personally, like to see my tax money go into recruitment strategies supporting the sanctioned use of armed forces in pursuit of policy objectives.

[PaxtonRU]

Hey this is Paxton- my AA name was Wraiths_Paxton....I haven't played AA in 2 years, sorry...had 2 kids and they took all my time!

[everhart78]

Whats his in-game name/clan?

[iB4dMov3]

This is great.. I've been playing for four years. Good to see some public poblicity

[servershutdown]

how many times is she going to ask if the game is free?

[Zenophobius]

it's been so long since I took the AA medic test that I probably couldn't save my own life let alone someone elses

[zohairy2000]

lol the only problem is these tests have answers and most of the ppl use them they dont listen

[Bobalo2]

AA ftw =D

[darknipple]

well it shows that video games aren't all that bad.

[CarlitosSotilrac3]

Anyone know who this persons username is on AA?

[lobeking]

Wraiths_paxton is his username

[Zenophobius]

ahh he leads Wraiths? I've played with a few of them

[ukbassmassive]

cool wish it would hurry up and download so i can totally kick people butts

[creoltein]

fuck college. i'll get my md degree from hospital games

[maddog125]

Pong? Asteroids? Then the chick of course has to come in with "WII?!?" Pfft, women.

[dominic970]

this is actual reason y i downloaded that game

[NorthtownHH]

the game teaches u something, thats true. but i would never join the army and throw my life away for things like the war on iraq. Shame on you mr. bush. the real army shure isnt as funny as the game.

[Dridien]

Oh shut the fuck up you douche.

[Appclypse]

No but there are those of us that wish to live that life, just because that is your opinion doesn't mean you are right.

[NorthtownHH]

Just imagine nobody would join any army..

[Appclypse]

Some of us wish to be in the forces is what i meant and i also meant that i am one of those people. You may have your values but i have others so do many people.

[NorthtownHH]

ok i c. i wish u good luck with your plans!

[Appclypse]

ok well thank you lol intresting and slightly confusing response.

[DPpictures]

It's not about killing as many people as you can. It's about defending your country.

[majg12uk]

Let's be honest here (referring to some comments not the video) most video games (although I would classify most as neutral in terms of whether they do any good or bad) aren't like AA which is fairly unique in being designed specifically to equally educate and entertain (there are others but they are often lacking the pizazz of AA & in the fun dept.)

I'm an avid gamer & I think it would be good if there were more games like AA with real-world positive implications.

[Yoda8232]

Parents need to watch this! =_=

[JAKETHESNAKE1590]

JACK THOMPSON SUCK ON THIS

[tmwilson06]

lol, and its on FOX!? Dang.. impressive...

[JAKETHESNAKE1590]

"Pong?, could Pong Save a Life?, Asteroids!?"

-the host.

[BigDAS]

Although the AA Medical Training does include extensive details in many areas of life saving and sustaining principals on the battlefield, the actual game uses these techniques in a very abbreviated manner by 'prioritizing' the extent of injury by degee of severity. The Medic's actual function is to reach these wounded soldiers and 'Heal' them with a simple keypress. This does not detract from the fact that the actual training can be implemented in realtime, as has been proven in this video.

[KittyWoIf]

Lets see what Jack Thompson have to say about this.

[insanebeatz]

Really nice one ^^

-hiGh.Monkitz^ ( EU )

[mikeydoo465]

hell yea training hacks are for pussys. i went thru all of the medic training!!! this game can really teach u something!

[8ball48]

I also benefit from this game,

the weapons training helped me alot. thanks!

[JAKETHESNAKE1590]

kewl dude are you in the army? if your not then what do you need yo be trained in weapons for??? lol

[commandrow]

When I was at CLS school at AIT they told us NOT TO USE our CLS training at a crash scene!

It came down to liability on our part. Basically they said, "If you use this and screw up or hurt someone, you could be liable and they could sue you."

Wouldn't stop me from putting a tourniquet on someone or hold a pressure point to stop bleeding. If they lived because of of the CLS training I have in real life then Hooah!

-=SkS=-CommAndrow

[Nizzemancer]

not impressed...Severed fingers are not lethal unless you're laying around for several days, and neither is a scratch in the head. While I think it's a good thing that AA get's positive press I don't see the in-game training as a life line in a real life-threatening situation.

[dubsucks]

So what? You may think that it wasn't lethal but he prevented them from even more harm. Blood poisoning, blood loss etc.

[TheSecondOne]

See video games arn't completely bad for you.

[smithpak1]

This is awesome.

[767corp2]

Dont use Traning Hacks see you can learn something and it can help you in real life!

[nemesisgeek]

IIRC this is the second case of AA helping to save a life. GJ!
