Iraq and the XBOX
In the mid-90s, the U.S. military discovered that Marines were customizing the videogame Doom to practice warfare, which prompted the Marine Corps to develop its own version of the game as an actual training tool. Now they’ve added another level of realism for a videogame that helps soldiers navigate the complexity of real urban warfare — it’s called Full Spectrum Warrior. Produced by Rachel McCarthy.
