Calling all Veterans

[Art_Crime]

Hey Veterans,

For a personal journalism project I would like to speak with veterans of any war to date about their feelings on violence in gaming and war simulations. Any view can be expressed and I will withhold names from the final story (if requested).

Just a simple correspondance via email would be perfect, I'll just ask a few questions about your military experiences, how they compare/relate to games, and your current feelings about the subject.

Please email me at [email protected] with your rank, what war(s) you have/are participating/participated in. Being in actual combat is not a requirement, but I would like you to have some knowledge of gaming (if you are reading this here you most likely do) and a fairly close connection to some war or military operation.

Thanks for your help,

Adrian Ward

I highly doubt that you will find any vets on this forum.

I fought in the Australian, American war...as an impartial observer.



(Sorry I couldn't resist. I think there will be few vets on these boards, and even fewer real ones)

 

[nw909]

Do you mean Veterans from World War 2? Or just people that have served in the armed forces?

 

[B.Calhoun]

Might be some Iraq war guys here, who knows maybe even some Gulf war folks.

Well, there have been a number of wars on these forums Bad Hat, you must of at least fought in a few of them? :E .

This is also a subject i would love to know about, so if the veterans would allow it, you should see if you could post your final paper up on here or something?

 

[h00dlum]

I was in the `Nam...NO I WAS NOT!! :] I think you should ask in some war forum..

 

[CrazyHarij]

I was a veteran of the great Forum War, back in '04 and '03. It was hell.

In all seriousness, I doubt you'll find war veterans here, simply because they most probably have better things to do.

I was a security guard once upon a time...

[Farrowlesparrow]

Several times I believe. I'd say that comes close to acts of genocide against the Conversation of IRC.

The UN must be called upon.
