If your games don't come pre-loaded with 99.9% boredom and 0.01% absolute unimaginable terror it ain't realistic.

It doesn't matter what branch, what years one served, peace or war or even a hot or cold war; that is what it is really like.

Makes for boring games, TV and movies but that is the way it is.

That's why they call it "Entertainment!" It doesn't have to be like reality. Who cares if the physics are screwed up, the blood splatter is way off, and the timing of events are off. SO WHAT?!? Entertainment is stimulation.

If I wanted reality, I'd sign up for the Army... But I don't want reality. All I want is a little fun / fear / pleasure to keep my heart pounding well.

If I wanted to be bored outta my skull, I'd go watch a golf game (hence watch and not play).

I understand that yes, IRL, there are jobs that are boring 99% of the time and 1% with lots of action (army, cops, firefighting) and their lives are put on the line. But that's life and what most people's lives are like (except the danger is less intense more often than not).

F-ack this I'm going to play some Battlefront and bust a cap in some Gungan ass. :lol:
