LMFAOOO

That's because it was a specific game created for that specific reason and everybody knew it was created by the Army for recruitment.

@@bluezy710 yeah and they made it surprisingly realistic from what I remember. Like with how you treat the wounded.

Very little. Those ones it did are the same idiots who ran in the open and got killed cause they did that in the game for real. Americas army should've been used to bring awareness / honor the troops not used to recruit children. That's where they fucked up. If they ever bring the game back ( doubtful ) use it to honor / celebrate men and woman who serve never again use it to recruit.

​@joshguy2177 there was nothing realistic about it. It was a generic shooter hence why hardly anyone played it after aa3

@@Jabrozke aa3 is what I was referring to.

lol

So true

Yeah dude, it is so LAME honestly. US army esports team gtfo lol

They became so desperate that they've become woke and are trying to appeal to SJWs

Usa itself is desperate

Of course. With all these transgenders trying to get in, we're gonna lose a war in 10 min.

Its not desperate its actually very smart ... Warfare is very different now days most fighting it done on screen an controller. The cia and military has had there hands in video games for long time black ops 2 was the real known of them when they told Activision to put drone in the game to get the players used to controlling drones by controller and on screen... I think its very smart ... I dont understand why ppl try to make kids soft . we need young men in our military

Theres more to it than just getting ptsd. Consider the benefits as well. The benefits outweigh the risks

@@quinx5251 BeNeFiTs Yeah maybe i gonna lost my leg but hey i have 3 dollars and a title that is associated with world war 2

@@GustavoGomes-nn5np you dont know much, do you? Im not gonna start an argument. Just learn a bit.

there are more trades in the military than just shooting people, developing other skills

@@quinx5251 I wouldn’t call it benefits , it gives great opportunities for people but the problem of veteran poverty and homelessness needs to be solved

0:08 btw

Usually that'd be an insult

Great drone pilots though. If you find a gamer who is also amoral the PTSD isn't even a factor, it's win-win.

Theyre not kids though. You have to be 18 to join the army, theyre recruiting adults

@@SammyxSweetheart.02 lots of people as young as like 8 or 9 play fortnite and league, both of which were shown in the video. They literally were like "people were concerned we were trying to groom kids so now we dont but we just do when they bump into us"

@@hydroxyl5130 But when they turn 18 they decide for themselves whether they want to join the military or not. Its not like those recruiters are threatening them to join

@@SammyxSweetheart.02 They brainwash kids from the very beginning. Suicide bombers make decisions under their childhood influences and so do people who join the army. Kids are not told that war is more than defense and anti-terrorism and when they're in the recruitment office, those officers LIE to them. The US military even conducted dangerous experiments on unknowing soldiers. Lyndon B Johnson's administration sent more and more men to Vietnam mainly to delay their unavoidable shame. They prohibit abortion, keep the college fees unbearable, so there are millions of young men desperate enough to join the military. HOW DARE YOU say that they're deciding for themselves? You have to have no sympathy for those who are manipulated since a young age and have no financial advantages, to be able to say that.

lol and some idiots think when they grow up they suddenly gain self-consciousness and the ability of critical thinking, so that there's no moral problems.

You'd think they could at least do that and not COD. Something like Squad is what they should really be playing.

Because they literally skimming for top streaming games so they can hook a wider audience. They dont care how games relate to real life they just want more pigs for the slaughter since literally not even 1% will actually join esport who intend to be apart of the team

Dead ass 🤣🤣🤣

Kek

So totally agree with you what a great idea

they are just trying to apeal to zoomers new media=new ways to recruit they will obiously get training like other recruits

Gaming is not a medium to find suitable soldiers for war. It’s more of a medium to appeal to potential recruits. The main demographic of recruits are 16-18 year olds and they play a lot of games.

Totally agree this is just so unrealistic

Look, I'm not a recruiter or anything, just a normal guy. But maybe I can change your opinion on this. Is the Army eSports team an effective or morally just recruitment tactic? Perhaps not. Is the Army anything like video games? Hell no. But I will say that when I was in a low point in my life, the Army helped me get back on track and provided me with food, shelter, steady pay, fitness, free school, and a strong sense of belonging and satisfaction for my work. When in garrison, it's a normal 9-5 job with one month of PTO per year plus holidays. Sure, five years ago when I was a brand new private I had to do shitty gruntwork, get yelled at, and go on long deployments. It comes with the territory. But in hindsight, it made me a stronger person who more strongly appreciates the things I've been given. Not everyone in the military has it the same as I do, but most days I return from work in one of my two very nice cars to a home that is paid for, a wife that is financially supported, cook dinner with food bought at a discount, do college schoolwork that I get paid extra to do, and watch movies and play games on not one, but *gasp* two 32" monitors. And when I leave the Army, I'll have relevant job experience in my field and a security clearance that can land me 100k+ per year salary. When people say the U.S. has the greatest military on earth, this is a big reason why. It's not just the fancy jets, ships, and guns. It's the quality of life, training, and support that each soldier gets. Can the government do a better job at supporting our veterans? Sure, but we are already light years ahead of other countries in terms of support for our service members. Ultimately this is the goal of the US Army eSports team. Their mission is to get young people to understand that serving your country is not all about shooting guns and killing terrorists. It's building a successful life for yourself through training, education, and financial stability. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Nah, I’ll try my luck at community college lmao

@@GardenGhost404 part or full time?

They showed some COD gameplay, but ik ur joking lmao

True they have season 3 gameplay

@@eliteplayer7600 wow sounds like you are a naive child who doesn't know how the world operates. it's an effective marketing strategy to get kids who are more than likely qualified to join due to their age. My issue is these recruiters or soldiers whichever they are can do this crap in their off time they should not be getting paid to play video games it is the military we are paid to train to fight not to play freaking video games!

@@xternalpunk bruh moment

@@xternalpunk look I heard the army is also using VR to control unmanned plane and a gaming like console to control a laser. Therefore, I say knowing how to play game is probably the future. I wouldn’t mind tax money going into technology like this.

But no respawn and shion~~~

The army is not the only organization that does this. Plenty of organization do this.

Tax dollars at work.

I ve seen a vegan in russian army several years ago. He had to eat only mres during camp in the steppes for a month. It was such a sad sight bc he had to eat only jam, biscuits and vegetable caviar(which are 10% of mre) and swap the rest with comrades(all main meals contains meat).

This is where our hard-earned money goes. Taxes..
