Gaming as a Teaching tool?

Gaming as a teaching tool made me think about the army. There are so many games out there now a days that are so violent. I don’t think they are a bad thing but I have heard that they have a game that helps men train for the army or at least tries to get them interested in signing up. I find that kind of disgusting because being out there shooting a gun isn’t anything like playing a game. When men shut of the game they know they have only killed imaginary people. I do like the fact that there are more games that help teach children anything that they want to learn. I guess it’s the best way to combat this new age where children want to stay at home and sit in front of a computer screen. I guess everything has a plus side and a down side
