sound motor, you seem to know your stuff, but I seriously hope you recognize these videos for what they are. They are, pure and simple, propaganda designed to entice the video game playing youth of today into military service. The striking similarity between these videos and popular games today atests to that.

It shows a clean, safe battlefield for American soldiers, who get to use cool toys, and get to have fun killing pathetic excuses for enemy resistance. In the first video, they happened to be some real incompetant insurgants who are standing around with their weapons on an empty street corner in the middle of the night. Oh, yeah, real inconspicuous, guys. Then, the guard on the 2nd floor didn't notice the damn robot that was on the stairs in plain sight mere feet away. A real winner there. I almost forgot, the idiots out in the desert planting claymores as the US column approched, only to get smoked by an AH64 and that mechanized artillery piece. The only violence directed towards American forces in the whole thing was right at the end, against a robot, which was ineffectual.

The second video has us fighting the Chinese horde, which seems to consist of one guy with an AT launcher overlooking a bridge, a poorly rendered tank, and lots of red blips on a tactical screen. Why is the idiot on the hill by himself? Where are his comrades? Why isn't the bridge wired with explosives? Because these are mindless idiots, much akin to the Germans in most World War Two movies made from the 40s through to the early 90s. In this video, we actually see a close call, but thanks to our anti-missile technology, no one is hurt. Only the poor robot gave up it's "life", so the AT trooper could be located (again showing his stupidity by shooting at an insignificant target. You would think that they would learn what kind of shit we have, and use that knowledge, but no, they are mindless Chinese! The simpletons!).

These are both hilarilously bad propaganda attempts, similar to the crap they pumped out during WW2. At the very least, I can see that. I sure as hell hope you can too.
