Okay, about the actual episode…Video games were so crucial for George Bush and his friends to accomplish their mission during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We trace the origins and justifications of the War on Terror, and connect the post-Cold War scrambling for new wars by defense contractors, US officials, military leaders and right wing intellectuals to the rise of video games as a pedagogical method and recruitment tool.
note: our website is going through a redesign ! soon you will find all our citations and a bunch of other mind expanding content there.
