Militainment in video games

In the drone documentary we watched, I thought it was interesting that the military seemed to be scouting out kids who were good at video games. It was kind of shocking that the military was moving in that direction, especially with such impressionable young kids. However, I don't think that war and military style video games are necessarily desensitizing children to violence and war. There have been plenty of studies proving that violent video games don't really effect children more than other video games, because there is a separation between the player and the game. And although it may make it easier for soldiers to kill using drones, they are not necessarily free from the psychological effects of killing. Just as we saw with the soldier in the video, who was relating his drone stories, physical separation does not effect ones' guilt of killing. So even if a kid is really good at shooter games, doesn't mean they'd be able to become the kind of soldier the military wants.
