military games

Video games are an ingenious means of recruitment for the military. The most interesting aspect of the topic of war or shoot 'em up games i thought is the ethics problem. How do you go from games where you celebrate killing the "enemy" to portraying what would in real life be an emotional experience of taking another life? I like shooting targets, I do not want to join the military and take lives. It's quite incredible how through video games the military is getting the notion of war being fun to seep into this generation's subconscience. How sneaky. Brainwashing?
