I wonder if there will be a bonus level where you intricately make dinner with your family and then the screen goes black as a Hellfire from a drone blows you all to pieces. This whole idea is so weird, it's going to have the perspective of the individuals caught in a fetishized, choreographed, simulated war which only exists in the realm of video games, which really just tries to milk empathy towards NPCs in a video game, not real people. If you are under the impression that video games do not promote violence, why would they promote empathy for those caught in the crossfire? Of course, that's implying some underlying motivation or whatever, but still. It is just a variation on a theme, but a stupid one.
