War should not be the latest form of reality TV, or like a football match with a running commentary. War is not a computer game, it is not Die Hard in Iraq. These are real lives and real victims and we should never lose sight of that fact. I think many of our broadcasters have.
True.

The son of an aquaintance who was not allowed to have one of these wargames argued that nothing could be wrong with it as its "just real" after he saw some of the current pixelized "reality TV".
