Call Of Duty Players Try Military Combat Gear. A taste of reality gives some perspective. Your thoughts?

Great video, easy enough to create the obstacle course and just enough for them to be challenged.... The point was made with these gamers.

1SG (Join to see) I hate these electronic games for multiple reasons. I'm glad someone put together a video to put a tiny bit of realistic perspective to it. The female walking her buddy out v. the male carrying dragging his buddy out was a BIG cheat. If you want a real perspective then have equal standards.

I will start with this, the person saying he is not deserving of wearing the uniform is spot on. The no giving it any thought that people do this and it is their job. When I got out I came back home and joined a Veteran's organization called the Veterans of Modern Warfare. Myself and a few other members were also going to the same local college. At one of the VMW meetings the president mentioned in one of his classes that a young student over heard him say that they had a meeting that night. The VMW president informed him it was a Veterans of Modern Warfare meeting. The young student replied. "I am a veteran of modern warfare." The VMW president replied "Oh yea." the young student then said "Yea I play call of duty all the time." I do not recall what the VMW president said to him.
But yes more gamers should do something like that obstacle course to give them a better perspective and understanding

Would have been interesting, and let's face it hilarious, to see them do our Combat Fitness Test... Or go through a combat town with sim rounds. Still for what it was I guess they got a little bit of perspective which is more than most could say.

Great video, would have been fun to see them at a range too, going through multiple target and failure-to-stop scenarios, trying to get an idea of what real target acquisition feels like with a real weapon. My only question is: He's a Marine turned Green Beret, but the guys and gals are outfitted with USAF TACP/JTAC kits. Where the hell did those come from?

1SG (Join to see) They did well for first timers and i think they gained some respect,even though the equipment was minimal.Great video,MSG.

As a gamer, even before I joined I knew COD MOH and the rest didn't tell the story regardless of how immersive it was. But I think we need more of these type of exhibts, just for the general public

NICE!!! Haa haaa haaa.. get out of your nana's basement and try some real stuff!!! I am certain it is not anything like what they thought it would be for them... as in a piece of cake based on their kick ass COD skills!!!!
