Tom Engelhardt: Why Military Dreams Fail -- and Why It Doesn't Matter

Robot war. It just couldn't be cooler, could it? Especially if the only blood you spill is the other guy's, since our "pilots" are flying those planes from thousands of miles away. So why am I not excited?

Propaganda has to be cool. These comic books look hokey. Meanwhile, NK's Glorious Leader is watching "Friday the 13th". Seriously, Kim Jong-il. If you consider the US an evil, capitalist society, why do you like seeing naked American women?

So I guess Left For Dead isn't subliminally brainwashing kids that it's ok to shoot (perfectly human looking) zombies ?

Oh no Propaganda! Like it isn't used by governments the world over. This from the New America Foundation:

Throughout 2009 the military has aggressively expanded its marketing campaign targeting teenagers. Efforts include the release of Version 3 of the taxpayer-sponsored video game America’s Army, two graphic novels that look and read like comic books, and a unique 14,500-sq.-ft. arcade – or “Army Experience Center” – in a Philadelphia mall that is filled with simulators and shooter video games.
