Caldicott was Right? - In

Caldicott was Right? - In the '80's, feminist anti-war hysteric Helen Caldicott said that computer games were training the next generation of techno-warriors to man anti-ballistic missile systems.

This article - by Wagner Au, in Salon - confirms her thesis. With one exception - America's Army, the Army's new interactive shoot-em-up-with-a-mission-and-a-conscience recruitment tool - among others, apparently has value in training ground-pounding infantry, Ranger and Special Forces.
