"War is delightful to those who have had no experience of it. "
- Desiderius Erasmus
"I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity."
-General Dwight D. Eisenhower
"It is well that war is so terrible, else we should grow too fond of it."
- General Robert E. Lee
We have (almost) always played war in some way.
Cowboys and Indians, Paintball, computer games etc. etc.....
Making a potential dangerous thing "safe" can be a great "kick" for most of us.
Some examples here are skydiving, bungee jumping, diving with sharks etc....
I think it's ok as long as you're not glorifying war, but also think about "what if this was real life?.."
These guys ARE glorifying war

Antoher great things about war games is that you can always find out just how good certain tactics work in certain situations. My friends play Enemy territory and Halo almost non stop for the thrill that the battle never ends the same way twice. that's what's great about wargames.
I may have never been able to fight in WW2 or any other skirmish for that fact but if I can ever be so lucky to have even the slightest idea as to what was going through those honorable mens minds then I will be completely satisfied.

And Sherman, if you would go back and read my post, you would see 18 to 30 year olds are my main target. Not 17 year olds, or even 15 year olds.
I am 18 buddy.
trust me when I say this I would love nothing more than the honor and privilege to serve my country in the armed forces. But I know that i have another "calling" in life.
Just a hobby...No need to get ill
