War games

Like many Others in this country and across the world  play war games like call of duty, battlefield etc.. Lately there has been some interesting debate in laws restricting the sale of violent video games.  Now even with the rating system based on content it seems to still be insufficient  

Like many of the others I too play Call of duty, Battlefield etc... and do enjoy them but never take them seriously like some may do. While some say such games shouldn’t exist at all due to violence and such, I believe that they should exist because if they were suddenly banned then there would be a violation of rights. In other words I support their continued existence and I also favor enforcing the prevention of sales of such violent games to minors. This would help prevent them from acquiring the game as easily as they do today.  Several years ago and still today they HAVE to check for photo ID, Sadly this is heavily unenforced and instead9 focus the problem of controlling torrents and protecting the company’s profit   . Take for example what happened I believe several years ago when a store teller allowed a minor to purchase about 2 M Rated games without checking for ID and was subsequently arrested for the crime. Now few care about and think of it as a minor thing and simply unimportant. Sadly it is usually irresponsible parents that purchase such games for them that MAY care little for their state of mind, and advancement. A superb example of this is person I used to know well

He used to play games like metal gear solid, before he was even 10.  Now several years later I noticed his subliminal l imitations and even in speech he would sometimes go back to the game.

 However in Real warfare the games do not even pale in comparison to the battlefield for like the media the games to are watered down or even exaggerated in varying content.  Because in real war you only have one life to give and lose for your country, in comparison in the game you have as many lives as you need and never run out. In the games you feel no fear of death or loss in reality you may lose only a fictional number that in reality is unimportant for your survival by nature we are a violent people constantly bickering with each other unfortunately the same cannot be said for the soldiers of the battlefield where they face life and death every day from enemies that cannot be distinguished from civilians. These brave and honorable men and women sacrifice everything they own, including their lives, once they are gone they are gone there is no restart, no extra lives other than the one and only one  you and I have. There was an old quote made by a soldier who fought in world war and invaded the beaches of Normandy, it was “you couldn’t think about getting killed it’s either you got them or they got you.” This tells me and everyone else that there was No in-between, No other choice. Sadly these games do little to deter war and the violence it leaves in its wake, because like for thousands of years the human race has continued to develop better and more effective ways of killing each other.
