In what some will call "genius" but I label "stupid", the British Army are looking to gamers to jump behind the controls of their "new" Apache attack helicopters.

The skill in flying the aircraft is to absorb large amounts of information from different sources without becoming flustered. The new generation of computer-game playing youngsters glued to their PlayStations, Xboxes and Game Boys already have some of those skills.

Are they sure that's a good idea? They'll look decidedly unprofessional when their Apache pilots start shrieking "COCKMOUTH!LOLZORRZ!" every time they make a kill. Luke Plunkett
