So, your kid’s a little out of shape, and he just sits in front of the computer all day, playing those stupid video games. You wish he would get outside once in a while and get some exercise, but all he wants to do is beat Call of Duty.

You are at your wits end and are thinking of sending him to a military academy or something to teach him a little discipline and hopefully get him some exercise.  Don’t bother – chances are they are going to sit him in front of the computer and teach him how to fly drones.

Or if he excels at strategy games, perhaps they will teach him how to use their Battlefield Information System.







In an age when first-person shooters, flight simulators, and war strategy games are not only very popular, but amazing realistic, it is becoming evident that your pudgy little Nintendo kid is not wasting his time after all; he's training to be a soldier. The US Military is the most technologically advanced force in the world. All of the serious equipment is computer controlled. Our airplanes are so maneuverable now that the human inside them can not survive the forces they create, so the next generation of planes will be controlled remotely from a video screen. And chances are, they will need your pudgy little Nintendo kid to pilot them. After all, he spent the majority of his formative years developing hand-eye coordination, cat-like reflexes, creative problem solving, and strategy.

Look out world, here comes the Sega Soldiers!
