Kettle, meet Pot

In the grand scheme of things, this is minor, but I find the US establishment bemoaning foreign groups using video games as recruiting/propaganda fairly laughable.

Miller said video games and other media "are tremendous vehicles of socialization" and can serve as propaganda. He said the Hezbollah video game "can be a tool (of propaganda) ... and we don't have much in the way of instruments to combat it."

Especially since the US Army has a very expensive and widely played game targeted at underaged children on its site that it uses for recruiting.

(And then of course there's the Christians with their kill 'em all "Left Behind" series of games.)
