The U.S. Military is intensifying its efforts to meet young people where they spend their time: online and on their devices. But, as John Yang reports, there are critics who say these new recruiting methods also raise new concerns.

On one hand, video games can teach valuable skills like teamwork, strategic thinking, and problem-solving that could be useful in the military. On the other hand, some people worry that targeting young people who may not fully understand the consequences of enlisting could be exploitative. Personally, I think it's important for anyone considering joining the military to carefully consider all of their options and make an informed decision. It's a big commitment that shouldn't be taken lightly.
