No, I don't because it's disrespectful and not right. I think this game option will be very popular in Dearborn, San Francisco, Berkeley, Portland, and Seattle as well as most universities.
Maybe your comments are disrespectful to those of us who live on the West coast and have nothing to do with EA.

Also, freedom of speech does not say that you can make racist remarks anywhere you want without consequences. But that's another story.

They dont have air support, and many fight to the death, and you call them cowards?

I'd like to say I hope you have the courage to fight them but then I would only be wishing another American fights in a country he has no business, or right, to be fighting in.

The Taliban never attacked us, WE attacked the Taliban

Well, the Way of the Cowards seems to be superior to that of the Men, as one might argue that they are winning.

Honestly, you call for honour and straight-up combat in a war between guerilla and vastly more numerous regular troops? Seen one too many patriotic Hollywood war movies?

Yes, free speech, but either way, this is very disrespectful. Frankly, I dont know how you can even make a game out of war with the Taliban. They dont fight. They are cowards. They dont engage rather they use children/women as shields. They send their own family members to blow themselves up. They dont fight a war like men, but cowards of Mohammed.

So I dont understand how you can even make a playable real war game out of some of the wars we are in today. If the war today was a real war, where we didnt have to take so many pre-cautions and had an enemy that didnt fight like cowards, we'd have destroyed most of these evil bastards by now.
what a crazy post

It is EA games right to make such a game but at the same time I find it to be very wrong and disgusting. While our troops are in Iraq and the middle east defending this country and dying for this country. EA games has the nerve to make a game where you can kill american troops in a current conflict. EA games just sees it as another way to make money while our troops are dying
