Support Your Troops With a Game or Two
Speaking of Grand Theft Auto games. A friend of my girlfriend is in the Navy and is going on a deployment in the near future. That means leaving home for a while.
We went over on a shipping off party, gave him some care packages, told him how much we are going to miss him and how proud we are of him.
I got him Grand Theft Auto : Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto : Vice City Stories for the PSP. He has played GTA games before but didn't have a copy of the PSP games. They were both twenty bucks a piece and I am sure that he is going to have fun until he comes home again.
Despite him being several years younger than me he is already a veteran of a foreign war. I am pretty sure that he can handle a over exaggerated video game gangster story in his down time on one of the greatest weapons of war ever build by mankind.
All the talk of simulated video game violence seems a bit silly when you realize that there are people shipping off to a very real war and putting themselves in harm's way every single day.

Well we are not supposed to say but we hope that he will be back before too long. He does not do any shooting.
