There is a pipeline from video games to the US military and it goes forward and backward and side to side, just like the buttons on your Gameboy Advanced. In this first installment, we look at the history of video game development and learn that when there was only one set of footprints in the sand, that was when the eternal war machine was carrying you, dear gamer. We come very close to accusing Activision of doing 9/11, but we show some restraint.
