"More importantly, the creation of games like these is war profiteering; the same profiteering that Blackwater, civilian contractors, and companies that produce ACU backpacks for school children participate in."

Comparing a games designer to Blackwater is ridiculous. Also these games are very handy for recruitment, whereas Blackwater drains the military of staff and is actually far more harmful to the military than any game.
