America’s Army, which has spent 20 years in the market, is finally leaving us. MIL-SIM, which has become a propaganda machine for the US Army, will close its doors as of May 5. The announcement was made by the U.S. Army through the official forums of the America’s Army.
America’s Army, which first appeared in 2002, was designed to train soldiers in the U.S. Army, as its name suggests. Based on a very realistic combat simulation, the AA also allowed the military to train online. The game included first aid, Humvee driving and gun use training.
The aa’s transformation into an FPS propaganda tool was thanks to a multiplayer system. Because in the game you could only play as an American soldier and you were faced with quite generic enemies.
Accused by many famous writers of “hiding the dirty face of war,” the AA was the subject of a critically acclaimed song by a Canadian punk band called Propagandhi.
