Army's War Game Recruits Kids

After reading this article, I am torn. I feel that although the Army is using a remarkable marketing tactic to capture the attention of the demographic they appeal to, it is not all exactly fair. I feel as though it is somewhat tricking these kids into thinking that war is fun and thrilling. War kills people. When you die in the game, you can restart and try again. You do not get that chance in real life. Also, I would have to agree with psychologist Susan Linn when she states that there should be different standards when marketing to children. She states that the judgment part of your brain does not fully develop until your 20's. Kids are not understanding the magnitude and seriousness, they think it is just a game. I want kids to join the Army and serve our country with pride, just not because they see what it may be like in a video game.
