The cons far outweigh the pros. Gaming addiction is absolutely horrible. My father's friend used to be proud of his son. My father told me to look up to him growing up. Top of his class, aced every high school subject, admitted to Bejing University med school, athletic as well. Once he left home to attend medical college, his sudden freedom allowed him to go about his gaming unchecked. He spent all his money, borrowed more from all family friends for internet gaming. He failed all his classes. His father spent all his free time going from internet cafe to internet cafe looking for him, spent several tens of thousands in RMB buying presents for his professors and program director to give him a second chance. They did, and he failed everything again. His former athleticism in track has been replaced with a somewhat hunched back from sitting in front of the computer gaming in a slumped position. Playing Call of Duty does not make you a soldier, not even a little.

I so agree 100 %-teach these kids especially youngmen to experience and taste real life-camping,hiking,fishing even hunting,hard demanding jobs, to get bruised,exhausted,dirty ,hungry-thirsty and be exhilirated overcoming pain,fatigue,fear ,failure etc-not some simulated screen experience.Overcoming hardships,limitations ,strengthening oneself,mentally and physically and spiritually otherwise hide from life with all of its bitterness,pain,hardship and also its sweetness,joy,thrill-of-victory is to deny life itself and become just a form of early death(otaku?)(didn't China have a "Self-strengthening Movement early in 20th Century?)Gaming addiction like alcohol,opium etc is deadly."Pen and Sword in Accord" always-no frippery/peurile foolishness-life is just too serious/precious/demanding to fritter it away.

Playing Counter-Strike:
“Ha! Ha! Yes! I bought the M249! Awesome!”

Using LMG at the range:
“Ha! Ha! Yes! This is even more awesome than CS!”

After 10+Km patrol also carrying spare ammo:
“F this, I want to chuck this POS into the woods!”

Back in the 90’s, flight sims like Joint Strike Fighters provided a glimpse into the exciting capabilities of the next generation of US fighters. 30 years later, the planes delivered are half functional and only causing havoc on governmental budgets. Instead of flight sims, you’d probably be more successful releasing a retro-8/16-bit graphics business sim to reflect the time period where the programs were conceived.

Welcome to F-35/JSF.biz!
You are the CEO of the Defense contractor in charge of the US-led multinational advanced fighter program! You will need to manage your budget and reputation across countries while completing projects towards the final program goal. Good luck!

Bad news, the recently released GAO report has citizens complaining about the ballooning budget. (Reputation USA: -10%) What will you do?

A) Launch nationwide TV and web advertising campaign [Cost: $2.5M, final reputation: no change]

B) Launch advertising campaign in major markets only [Cost: $1M, final reputation: -5%]

C) Bribe politicians with lobster for dinner and hookers and blow for dessert [Cost: $50K, final reputation: no change, 25% chance of getting caught, final reputation: -20%]

you’ll find the nepotistic Indians being mass imported in every nation friendly to Washington’s with the exception of Israel. The servants of the Zionists need to be embedded in every nation on earth and democracies simply facilitate this based on raw Numbers alone. Only the annexation of the Japanese archipelago into China proper can save nippon.

It does explain why Jai Hinds care more about the optics of May 7th and Tejas crash more than the loss of material and personnel.

the belief is incredibly solipsistic and requires negating empathy for others.
