That was my first thought! Of course he's going to want to play, with 'the shit' still going on in Iraq. He's going to want his combat fix, this is part of what make PTSD so hard to cope with. Like a spouse who returns to their abuser.
Why did they not hide it!?
What makes me sick is how the media plays this as irrefutable proof of video games psychological effects, when really it just shows the psychological effects of WAR. The point is always lost once it hits Mainstream media.
You have to shake your head at everyone this guy was with...he has PTSD from Iraq and saw a close friend killed in a bombing (nevermind his own injury), yet they don't hide the copy of Call of Duty?
@Lithium, Wow, interesting article. He definitely shouldn't have been playing any game simulating war. Probably not any shooting games either, but that's the genre that is prolific today.
It seems a former Marine, who returned from Iraq 3 years ago and is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, has disappeared shortly after playing Call of Duty 4.
Activision announced today that Infinity Ward is working on new maps for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare that "will thrust gamers into a hot zone of added combat across a variety of intense multiplayer locales."
maybe he was bullish when it was like 4.5 mil earlier this month and though he's enjoying his wealth, he still wants to participate in intelligent conversation
@IcameIsawIc, Just a question, if you doubt 7.6 million GLS, then why do you currently have a bullish stance on it (based on what your profile currently says)? Just wondering, no harm meant.
