Libs are angry maddened about it, as expected.

When you point out that this is no different from all those US military propaganda games, they are quick to bring up that this is uniquely evil because it covers a currently active war. As if there weren't a bajillion military games set in the Middle East during the "War on Terror". picard

They truly have a selective memory.

Set in the fictional Republic of the Ostregals

The comics tell the story of U.S. Soldiers deployed to a tiny foreign nation in the middle of a chaotic conflict. The description for the series reads: "From the seemingly insignificant country of Czervenia, President-General Adzic and his army set upon a campaign of annihilation against the neighboring Republic of the Ostregals, setting in motion a mysterious plan that could change the course of world power forever. America's Army must create new experimental combat teams, forged together in secret Proving Grounds, and uncover the General's insidious plot before time runs out."

Like I said, it's all mostly been silly GI Joe nonsense instead of actual conflicts the US is involved in, even in this Army recruitment tool. I think the 2012 Medal of Honor game that glorified bearded operator thugs was set in Afghanistan during the War on Terror, but I obviously never played that. There was also the cancelled game, Six Days of Fallujah that was talked about a lot specifically because it was set during an actual battle

Of all the cancelled games in the world why did this one have to come back
