It sounds like a real cool game but before I start playing it, I want to know how realistic American Army is. Like – can you do cool stuff like using white phosphorus to 'shake and bake ' as we did in Haditha? Are the graphics of people on fire and screaming of a high standard? Can you put a whole magazine into the back of a couple of unarmed suspects and put signs on their bodies - ''No better friend, No worse enemy' ? I think it would be great if the game allowed us to throw teenagers into rivers and watch them drown, to machine-gun up any car which was stupid enough to get within 50 yards, to shoot the wounded, any Arab who looks at you funny, or absolutely anybody in the vicinity of an attack of us. Also - can you interogate prisoners by beating them up, setting dogs on to them, or by holding their faces under water?
You know, I would hate it if the game was restricted by the stupid Geneva Convention or anything.
