#2 The U.S. military has been using video games for years to attract young men, and involve them in military role-playing. As a matter of fact, the enhanced remote piloting abilities of the U.S. military is directly correlated to the game playing by American teenagers. So all Al-Q is doing, is copying the U.S. once again, 4-5 years after we initiate a new training method. Of course to truly emulate our success, they will need access and control of systems like our UAVs, Strykers, and robots.
