Amid a recruitment struggle, branches are using massive hits like Fortnite as marketing tools. Some veterans see the practice as unethical – especially given the age of the gaming audience.
Since 2018, the US military has been ramping up its use of gaming to recruit more people at a critical time when the US armed forces face the worst recruitment struggle since becoming an all-volunteer force after the Vietnam War. Targeting gamers makes sense from the military’s perspective, as it gives them access to the young, tech-savvy population they want to join. But some veterans told me that marketing the military with video games – essentially making a game out of war – is unethical.

It is all about money, as the Americans say, "Follow the money". All war, politics, ideology, and religions are all about money, and money leads to power. Power never comes to people with low incomes, who are merely used as useful idiots for political rallies.

Paa G they’ve destroyed our society. This is something they’ve totally succeeded in doing. And not just us ghareeb but they’ve totally pulled da rug from underneath the bewaquff arbi khotay! Saaron di bhund lugga dee hae pitting one against the other neighbor….….irani turani da only ones challenging dem head on for now on da constant colonization….but I’m not sure how long irani’s can hold their own anymore. Their population is very liberal and pro-west. Baqi saaray deen miskeen including us ghareebaan da to Allah he hafiz hae ga. Hum nay to kab ka surrender kar diya hae. Unfortunately we understand our situation quite well. Laanat howay on our khotay jharrnail. We are the brightest of da lot and we’ve given up because of our bad attitude.

Exactly. Contrary to some people's suggestion, we do not need to import prescriptions from other countries. We have the recourse, skill, and qualified folks; all we have to do is get the right attitude. PIA, for example, helped many other countries, including in the West, to build their national airlines once upon a time. PIA was considered a gold standard for an airliner. Our self-destructive attitude finally destroyed this tremendous national asset.
