#1 multi-player gaming in realtime over the internet (SOCOM US NAVY SEALS 2, etc.) will provide the most capable trained military America has ever seen....

#2 Or the most annoying pack of brats ever known to history.

(I liked SOCOM until it proved impossible to play online without some eight-year-old constantly screaming into the headset. When you have a team that TRIED to coordinate, the game's magic. The screaming brats made it a chore.

And shooting them just counts against your own team, dammit.)
