of the Future

How are video games used?

The military uses video games for training new recruits for war. The military uses a simulation involving Cold War technology. One of the games used was Call of Duty Black Ops two, but they now mostly use simulator games.

Is this good for soldiers?

It is good for soldiers so the they don't get hurt during regular training. It is good for millennial s who are used to having controllers in their hands. It is also good for soldiers who aren't used to combat.

Should this be used more?

It should be used more so the troops will have fun while they are training. Plus, the troops won't have to worry about getting hurt during regular training.

Does this save the US money?

It costs less than regular training because the equipment costs less than the old equipment. It costs only $400 million, and that isn't much money. Plus, the military already has much of the equipment for training. The U.S. spends $500 million on training with the equipment, but they spend $600 billion overall.

Can other countries can use it?

Other countries can use video game technology in their military because it costs less than regular training. Another reason why other countries might use video game technology in their military is because it is a lot safer than regular training. We could sell the technology to other countries so they can train their troops and also save money.
