Virtual War
Perhaps America should start to fight virtual wars. I mean, wars today have very strict rules in relation to various conventions, so why not spare the casualties and go digital, like so many other things? The US Army are using virtual reality for training purposes and they’re testing prototype aeroplanes which can be flown virtually by people on the ground anyway. You say sports? Nah, not the same. You still need some kind of ‘casualties’ in order to please the petty minds of war moguls. And as for real-life hurtful damage, you could make certain bets before a virtual war begins. Call it ‘advanced poker’.
