    Boo-yah!

    I love my fellow soldier-medics, and I guess that includes the virtual ones now!

    And he did exactly the right thing. That's too cool.

    I never really liked america's army as a game, but this is still pretty cool. The reality is, that there's a number of places he could have learned that stuff, but at least he learned it from somewhere. It's unfortunate that this will never become anywhere near as high profile as "video games are made by the devil!" in the media though.

    Sweet man. I love how stuff like this can happen and then you have an example to give the "all video games are bad" people and just say "right". That was some good clean practical application of first aid right there.

    America's Army is an awesome game too. I spent waaaay too much time playing it before Battlefield 2142 came along.

    Plus being free makes it even more awesome.

    Yeah, but I can still imagine his retort.

    "Well, uhm, it's obviously Government propaganda to get more people to pay to download the game. And the driver in the car was most likely trying to copy Excitebike, causing the accident in the first place."


    Or something like that.

    That is really cool.

    I'd never heard of this before--thought it was just another video game for Xbox or something.

    I'm gonna go try it out.

    It’s free to download but it was crated with tax dollars.
