I don't know, I am a serious FPS gamer, currently deeply into Battlefield: Vietnam and a big fan of the Desert Combat mod.

I was thinking the other day, here I am, sitting in my A/C, sipping a coke, playing games that are strikingly similar simulations of current goings-on in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Is it wrong for me to feel slightly guilty playing these games as 'fun' when my countrymen (and women) are fighting and dying IRL?
