Topics include gaming's military roots, how real wars have been depicted in commercial games, how the U.S. Military currently hopes to win new recruits through games like America's Army and Full Spectrum Warrior, and how contemporary artists invoke gaming's role in the new military-entertainment complex through game-related artworks.
