well to any body with a degree of insight and self honesty the entire subject of "war simulations" is MIGHTY fraught with really quite jarring contradictions..
this is no trivial concern IMO..and not a subject to be brought out briefly dusted off and put away again as rapidly as possible... as it strikes right to heart of well just about everything...the fact the question is so rarely given the time and attention it deserves is an indication of avoidance not respect

if war was unnattractive negative unwelcome ..what the hell are we doing trying to simulate it...let alone congractulate our selves heartliy on just how realisticaly we actualy do this...yet we do...all of us...me included.. time and time over again..sadly just as in real life..eh??

it's pretty darn NUTS when you openly contemplate it..

it's one of the reasons i (as an English person) to answer the point directly..found SH2/3 so fascinating...beacause all the time i was playing the games i couldn't resist the question...

"what the HELL am i doing??"

the answer well it's just a game..simply isn't a satisfying answer to any-one with an inquiring mind...it demands more respect than that..the realy interesting thing about simulations is that they often end up simulating FAR MORE than it states on the side of the box...

there really shouldn't be (and there isn't) an easy answer to all this...the question IS too important
