Virtually dead in Iraq
To protest the war in Iraq, a media artist infiltrates the U.S. Army's popular online video game and gets himself shot. While angry gamers, soldiers and even some peace activists call him a nuisance, others say his message hits home.

  • CPT Mitch sounds like a good soldier to me

    Hey Lex... This CPT Mitch talks like a good soldier. Some one who defends our country. Someone whom I WANT to defend the USA. You can't have good soldiers that completely refuse to fight because they perceive the war to be not just. CPT Mitch might have been, in the end (whatever end there is) more noble if he refused to serve. But I dount the people who depend on him - his fellow soldiers who he is responsible for - would see it that way. If there were more people like him, there would be less Abu Graibs.

    And what if there is a war and no one showed up? That depends. One side usually gets people to show up.
