What a wonderful US recruitment tool, no doubt aimed at the young and impressionable.

I am sure you right. Even though there is an age requirement for majority of US military services. Usually from minimium of 18 to around 37 or 39 for the reserves.

Times have changed,

"The largest group of gamers, at 38 percent, is comprised of men 18 and up, while girls 6 to 17 account for 12 percent of game players, the poll found."

Just a little clarity. Im sorry when I listed the ages in my last post. The ages werent meant what the military service age requirements not the gaming ages.

And I do realize that the gaming ages are much younger than 18 I have a 14 yr old boy. Although the majority of his gaming genre is RGP like Final Fantasy. He did/does like Halo

Actually while playing and talking to others you will see in AA, most are older adults playing.

What I meant was, the Army can now target gamers because the average game players age has risen to 33 based on the last article I posted.
