U.S. military strengthens electronic game "training"

Xinhua News agency said 10th that the U.S. military intends to increase the use of electronic game training efforts, hoping to use this simulation to reduce actual casualties. Joint Forces Command General James Matis says the military wants to benefit from the development of the gaming industry.　　The Department of Defense this week passed a plan to invest in a fund to support the research. Matisse told the House Armed Services Committee: "I have experienced many battles ... Half of our casualties are due to stupid mistakes.　　"We will still carry out live firing training," he said, and the simulation training is designed to help soldiers "accept as many tactical and ethical challenges as possible before they first go to war". He cites the benefits of using video game training, including a clear reduction in soldiers ' mistakes on the battlefield. "If we allow them to participate in simulation training, they will not only be a way to conquer enemy positions, but will be 5 different methods." "The U.S. military has developed a video game, the United States Army, based on the army's authentic training materials."　　The game is selling well, and U.S. military conscription benefits. But combat is not a game after all. Critics fear that once the recruits are accustomed to the kind of electronic game training that can be restarted, it will be difficult to grasp the life and death choices after the war, AP reported.
