"The Army's flagging recruitment numbers are serious business. So Army officials increasingly are turning to a game for help.

It is an online, multiplayer video game that they believe will lure teenagers into Army culture, hoping both to educate them about the military and to spark interest in volunteering to serve.

The game, dubbed America's Army, employs a realistic and team-oriented approach to give players a sense of what it is like to join the Army, to train how to use weapons and then how to work together on missions.

"The most outspoken critic of the video game industry in the weeks after the Sandy Hook shooting has been the NRA, content to shift the blame for the tragedy, and all others like it, away from guns. They’ve specifically called out games like Mortal Kombat and Splatterhouse as being contributors to mass murder, while calling for more real world guns as a solution to the problem.

Turns out that the NRA isn’t always anti-video game however.

"As President Obama prepared to announce his gun control proposals Wednesday, an NRA-branded video game was sparking outrage across the country.

“NRA: Practice Range” was released Sunday, according to Apple's App Store -- almost one month to the day from when a gunman shot his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., on Dec. 14, killing 20 children, six staff members and himself. He had also killed his mother.

Just the usual effort to obfuscate an issue and deflect blame onto whomever else is convenient.
