I approve. For a second I thought it was going to be another "video games kill, guns kill, when put together they're extra super killers" kind of thing.

So is Modern Warfare a good training tool or not?

all I learned from Modern Warfare is
Use the Grenade Launcher from 5 Feet for easy kills.
The Army uses between 10-15 Flash Bangs every 10 seconds.
if you get 5 kills you get to use a Predator Drone

No, i think its actually terrible if you are going to become an actual solider since in Modern Warfare 2 you can run wildly, shoot all over the place, and die only to respawn (come back to life) a half second later. It very well could cause potential future soliders to be less careful in general. Although, I do think it does a fantastic job of showing just how a reload can kill you! Dont know how many times i thought a corner was clear, go for the reload, BAM dead. Food for thought!
