Here's a wonderfully dim-witted view of how the average teenage boy reacts to America's Army, the U.S. Army's free game/recruiting ad: "America needs a standing army. So the army needs to recruit. But not at all costs. The army will have time enough to grab our boys for war when they turn 18."
Oh Joan Ryan, you silly! If teenage boys weren't being recruited at all costs by voluntarily playing America's Army, they'd be playing any one of the numerous Tom Clancy games, or Counterstrike, or one of their many me-too clones. If anything, America's Army's sanitized combat will give kids a healthy mistrust for the lengthy pitch they'll receive when they are commanded by their hypnotized frontal lobes to talk to a recruiter.
