My heart aches for humanity to be restored to homo sapiens sapiens….
And my head hurts from trying to figure out how we are so arrogant to call ourselves sapiens… Twice!
Totally buying this bad ass
Genocide. Worse than in South Africa, I think. Ethnic murders. [Murika da Empire of destruction and death for Profit]
This is what you become when you let the love of money master you. You are Evil itself.
I remember the pictures of these poor people trying to collect their loved ones burned to death by white phosphorus. This makes me feel so ashamed to be an American. I want my country to be great, but it has no chance when it is acting as an imperialist goon smashing around the world. One reason I see Joe Biden and his bipartisan countetparts as the enemy of our people: lying our young lowerclass boys into an experience that will likely leave them homeless and mentally ill if not dead, and for beating the drums of war. The kids who joined the military when I graduated high school now have children looking to follow in dad's footsteps in the same war smh
PhuQ no 🤪 wtf
Again. Great.
Pass.
Spec Ops The Line was much better.
Just played through medal of honor, didn't think you had that great taste.
hi Richard, you didn't specifically point out how the "game" is whitewashing it. I have no doubt it will be but it's possible that maybe there will be some truth to it. In the hour long interview with the developers, they talk a lot about wanting to share the stories of people that were there, including non americans if I remember right. I'm glad you made this video but it doesn't actually discuss how the video game is wrong, ya know? A lot of video games have been based on real life stories that are trying to share them.
What specifically have they whitewashed? This is an honest question cuz I really have no idea.
Call of Duty Infinite Warfare has my favorite campaign but I love futuristic stuff. =P There are several games where you actually are supposed to assassinate the president of the US, specifically Trump. Of course they're unknown and tiny little indie things.
Video game goal : find Sadam chemical weapons , kill everyone that stands in your own people.
Video game twist : alleged chemical weapon storage tank is empty and it turns out Sadam never had any , you are fighting for the elites the oil companies and US imperialism you are the terrorist !
Lol that's one heck of video game story !
Very sad, but not shocking at all. Afterall, history is written by the victors. Nobody will remember the real story of Fallujah after a few decades like no one will remember the real story of the "westward expansion" of America and the nearly extinct tribe of people already living on the land that stood in the way of this "expansion". It reminds of the siege of Leningrad, but at least the soviets had the firepower to fight back. Had the Nazis won the war in an alternate reality, we would be hearing endless stories of the how the Wehrmacht "liberated" the city of Leningrad after starving a few million people to death.

That's how war propaganda works even in the gaming world. Just look how many assholes also create games to kill animals. That's just as bad.
I wonder whether they will include DU Shells, Cancers, Birth Defects & Miscarriages in the game? Or is that just in the Expansion Pack?..
Heartfelt towards Fallujah.😥
I'd be interested to know who wrote, directed and/or financed this horrible game.
The channel Gamology has a series where they have U.S. soldiers react to scenes from Call of Duty & majority of the time they just casually talk about the best ways to kill people….pretty fucking disturbing honestly.
France bombed a city in Africa and killed 19 a few days ago, the western governments are addicted to blood
All things aside, it doesn't even look like a good game. That gameplay was shit
The time for talking and reasoning with the West is over…
It's pretty amazing how prevalent these violent video games are in American culture but it's not really surprising and not an accident. And video games are far from the only vector that violence is acculturated into Americans. When you travel the world a bit and escape the oppressive violence you start to see things differently.
U.S is a death cult.
Shameles Evil Peopels are they Who KILLED INNOCENT peoples to PLEASE THEIR BOSSES
Nobody played it, it's not out yet nor there is a demo. 🙄
In Vietnam during the US war they labeled anyone who the US killed a vietcong regardless of whether or not they were actually fighting for the north Vietnamese or just civillians. I suspect insurgents is used in the same is true of "insurgents" in Iraq where anyone the US killed and wasn't caught killing in a warcrime was an insurgent.
So the original 6 days in Fallujah video game from 2008 was never released. It was supposed to also be a n action/horror video game that shows the horrors of war. With protests from vets it was never released. But I wonder how much they changed the original content to be like "U.S. GOOD :DDDD"
Depleted Uranium, a Nuclear bomb in slow motion!
The comment about a game about Dien Bien Phu actually reminds me of this Vietnamese FPS released years ago. It's called 7554 and you play as the Vient Minh during the First Indochina War. I can't remember if there was any outcry about the game, however.
These gamers be like: "we don't want censorship in gaming, except US war crimes, censor THAT!"
Why this War Criminals don,t Face ICC
Richard Medhurst our HERO!!!!!!!!!!
Love from Pakistan
One we are obsess with guns in our society ! Shooter games sell it's not rocket science
Perhaps do a video on the slave labor into the making of video games
Eighty to hundred hours a week
This is a dream job for many people but reality suggest it's a nightmare
I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE ON BEHALF OF AT LEAST 60% OF AMERICANS.
To attempt to profit, or turn this WAR CRIME!! into a video game truly sicken' me,!
FDefects on Twitter has accounts on birth defects in Fallujah since 2004. The rising cases are most likely tied to the US military use of DU and white phosphorus in the Iraq war.
When The Nation questioned the US DOD over these allegations they did not respond but instead pointed to it’s “Policy for Environmental Remediation Outside the United States,” which states that “DOD has no general authority or funding to engage in environmental remediation outside of the United States.” The policy also states that the Department of Defense “takes no action to remediate environmental contamination resulting from armed conflict.”
Probably one of those terrible duck-to-recover-health shooters anyway.
B.b.bu.bu.but… there's a black guy Diversity right…..
As an American, this kind of stuff sickens me. I mostly move in Conservative circles, although I don't consider myself a Conservative, at least not by modern standards. They are the people who will cheer things like this. To be "patriotic" nowadays, you have love the murder of innocents all over the world because this is 'Merica and we're the exceptional nation…
Preach RM
The USA and Israel are the biggest terrorist on the planet.
The USA commits war crimes in Iraq, and Afghanistan which they illegally invaded, yet they accuse other countries of human rights violations.
Having a military is unconstitutional btw.
I don't agree with Chomsky on a lot of things (economics, gun control) but he's so spot on when it comes to war.
brain washing our kids and totally desensatizing them , turn war and genicide into a game is fucked up , , and fighting wars from inside a building across the sea with drones cowardly , foolish and criminal , and should not be allowed, im ashamed of the leaders here i dont feel good about anything going on in our behalf none of it is in our interest , i feel so sick and heart broken and angry ,for the people these m frs have hurt , for no just cause ,
Thank you for this coverage.
Our National Guard unit replaced the 82nd Airborne and I had never been around that many literal killers before that.
A video game company made a JFK assassination game, and people went nuts. I thought it was hilarious and ironic.
