One thing you just admit is that the military would not use these videogames to desensitize its soldiers to violence if it wasn't effective.
This goes back to WWII where the army discovered that, in an infantry unit, only 15% to 20% of the infantryman in the unit (meaning not counting cooks and supply clerks, but only guys with rifles) actually took aim and fired at the enemy. It seems that in the 1940's young American boys were much more afraid of killing someone than they were of being killed themselves.

yes but desensitizing and turning someone into a mass killer of innocents are two completely different things
