In regards to your specific point, you placed words in Skybird's mouth using a false premise. I simply indicated to you that it was a false premise. The message of the video game is that blowing stuff up is fun. The message of the recruiter is that you can make something out of yourself and have a great future through military service. These two messages are clearly not the same thing.

The message of a recruiter is that not only can you make something out of yourself and have a great future (both being arguably true) but
also that blowing up stuff is fun. That certainly is the main message of games like America's Army. What is more important? The message or the messenger?
