Lot of hypotheticals in there. Not to get into a pissing match on a video game forum, but: I could get hit by a car today picking up my garbage cans in front of my house Yes every marine a rifleman first but I will say this. After landing in Kuwait and getting to al-jabar air base the absolute FIRST stop was the armory to turn in our rifles. A week later we turned in our bayonets. Sure there was da nang during Vietnam but todays military, and enemy for that matter is very different. I say let the kid do what he wants. He will gain a life skill and be a better person for it.
