It's not arbitrary. Guns and violence are okay because America wants to normalize them joining the army and using them for their imperialism.

They even made a free video game for this purpose. But I don't understand how anyone playing America's Army would conclude that they want to join the Army. You die several times per day.

Also not realistic. Where's going to sleep at 11pm then waking up at 2am to prepare for a convoy that leaves at 6am? Where's loading a radio repeatedly because it keeps losing freqs? Where's kicking hummvee tires and checking the oil and calling it good only for it to break down 3 miles down the road?
