The Israel Defense Force sends recruits who play Dungeons and Dragons to a psychologist before giving them a security clearance, YNews reports.

"These people have a tendency to be influenced by external factors which could cloud their judgment, a military official says. "They may be detached from reality or have a weak personality - elements which lower a person's security clearance, allowing them to serve in the army, but not in sensitive positions."

Army officials say that gamers are also susceptible to influence. Man, they're going to freak out when they realize there's this little thing called video games out there. Brian Crecente
