Moslim blog beschuldigt America's Army van hersenspoelen
De game bestaat sinds enkele jaren en is ontwikkeld door het Amerikaanse leger. Door middel van de game proberen zij nieuwe rekruten te werven, aangezien de war on terror nog steeds bezig is. De internationale blog beschuldigt het leger er nu ook van met behulp van de game de jeugd te willen hersenspoelen.
