Um, let's not think this is a selfless move on the part of the US Army. NPR report over the weekend was that development of this game cost $8m US. These costs were recovered after the first 140 recruits showed up on account of the game. This is a recruiting tool. Which isn't to say you can't enjoy it or play without signing up. But it's not a charitable gesture. OTOH, the US Army now seems to feel that the GNU/Linux community is of sufficient interest to expend recruiting resources on us ;-) Peace (by whatever means necessary). -- Karsten M.
