The Demise Of Guys: Why Boys Are Struggling And What We Can Do About It (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
For example, realistic violent video games set in a warlike environment are being used to treat veterans who have post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. Video game–like applications of digital technology are also an integral part of military operation. P.W. Singer, author of Wired for War, raises some considerations: Technology is wrapped up in the story of war. You look at all the things that surround us, everything from the Internet to jet engines; these are all things where the military has been a driver for technology. And technology opens new frontiers, new directions we can go in, but it also creates new dilemmas, new questions you need to answer. … Going to war meant that you were going to a place where there was such a danger that you might never come home again, you might never see your family again. Now compare that experience to that of a Predator drone pilot. You’re sitting behind a computer screen, you’re shooting missiles at enemy targets, you’re killing enemy combatants.
