Further Analysis of civilian casualty game
As I continued to play this game I noticed more and more that I was watching the civilians take off their clothes to reveal they were a terrorist. This surprised me a great deal and then got me thinking of our current situation in the middle east. It is very difficult to determine a civilian from a terrorist during this war and has caused many civilian deaths.
http://www.unknownnews.net/casualties.html This websites states that at least 849,845 people have been killed in Afghanistan and Iraq since thw war on terror has begun. this is a very high number that I am sure none of us knew or even payed attention to. This game shows us just how difficult it is and how hard it must be on our soldiers to execute their duties while only taking the lives of the terrorists.

That's why so many Americans fear the situation because all mediums exploit terrorists. Not like they are good people, but Americans tend to focus on them making them bad.
