A bit delayed, but I have an article up from late last week discussing AAFES and Gamestop’s decision  that “out of respect for our past and present men and women in uniform we will not carry Medal of Honor in any of our AAFES based stores”. As a combat veteran and a gamer, I am disgusted and appalled by this attempt at censorship by AAFES bureaucrats that have not been subjected to the dangers and risks that our combat veterans are exposed to on a daily basis. Simply put, it’s not for them to decide; especially not on such a subjective basis that games where the player can be a terrorist are allowed, or games where players can commit virtual violations of the UCMJ. It is an utterly ridiculous decision, and is a slap in the face of our troops, who need all the fun that they can get.
