    Doesn’t this game make fun of the freedom and democracy rhetoric. I think gamers are incapable of comprehending satire. Maybe the game just ends up normalising war crimes.

      Yes it’s very corny and over the top, moreso than even Starship Troopers which it gets compared to a lot. The military embracing it anyway reminds me of something Zizek said about the new fascism embracing irony.
