Where were the subliminals? No proof of actual subliminal messaging, just conditioning propaganda

@pippypop09 war will never end. and we are the biggest country so of course we get into a lot of wars. i see your point, this is basically propaganda. but i don't believe the army thought i would make kids think war is fun, its only a video game.

@ma0ma0ma0 I know cuz, I play most of them and likely will check this out as well.

My problem is with the army tool that is handing out cards with one intention and purpose. I dont think i was blaming anyone who plays the game. I have no problem with people wanting to serve this country. My father was a soldier and i have a few cousins and uncles who have given thier lives for our governments cause. The wars are endless, not a single generation in almost 100 years has grown up free of war. FFT

@pippypop09 stop blaming individuals all of washington is corrupt. and most people only play this game for fun, its intended to be a a realistic military game. there are hundreds of games like this one. so its not like this one is special, its just endorsed by the army. stop bitching

@Bull3tdodger I am not saying we should ban the game at all. Fact is that there are young people playing these games in the video i commented on. Maybe they do not have the parental guidance,money or the means to go to college and are swayed and tricked as alot of kids are by these recruiters into joining service. Young people are impressionable and make mistakes. I am a gamer myself. My point is that they will do things like this and hand out cards to 12-14 year olds. That is wrong, Right???

@pippypop09 AA has been around since July 4th, 2002. I downloaded and began playing the game on that date. I was 13 years old. I am now 21 years old and am a senior in college. I've played AA the last 8 years and I haven't been brainwashed or felt the need to join the army. Quite honestly, I never viewed the game in any way other than a really fun game. In essence, it is no different than a Go Army commercial on TV. It's free to see those ads. Should we ban those too?

@DeadlySSMEG My cat killed itself after watching me play the game for an hour.

RIP. My other animals joined the army the next day and are currently in Iraq preparing to take Brazil over, overthrow Chavez and rape that country for its natrual resources. Afterwhich they will along with haliburton re-build and put a few new US military bases there as well. After they figure out which lie or fake crisis they will use on american people to justify taking over another country. I hope they write me.

@Bull3tdodger what is untrue about this video. Its free which should present a red flag for anyone with half a brain. NOTHING is free. They want to put your kids on military base somewhere abroad. I see no subliminal message here but what i do see is this army guy handing out cards to children. What purpose do you think that serves. The message is not subliminal but it is very clear the intent of this FREE game and the dopey girl that is way too young to know what she wants out of life.

@ma0ma0ma0 The video shows the length the recruiters will go to so they can indoctrinate our kids into the big lie that is our industrial military complex. Starts in school and continues from there. Endless wars are what we do here. If there is anybody to blame for the way the rest of the world hates us and would love to see us perish then you should thank a bush or a rockefeller as they steal our money and use it to destroy everything. Our troubles began in 1913 with Bush family influence.
