Re: Marine killed in his own home

Incidentally, almost all FPS videogames train nearly indiscriminate
shooting. The S.W.A.T. games trained the opposite. They were excruciatingly
tense games because of the emphasis on /not/ shooting, and only firing when
a long list of rules of engagement were met, otherwise you failed the
mission. Supposedly, the games were based very closely on actual S.W.A.T.
training and practices. Instead of training you to run and gun and rack up
the highest bodycount, they trained you in self control and thinking quickly
on your feet and erring, if you had to, on the side of discretion.
