The Army has a war games kind of video that they use for training soldiers.
Much of the reason they use is isn't for speed but for decision making.
They recently put some soldiers up against some really hot shot gamers.
Who, when, why, where, I don't know. I didn't read the newspaper article
for details needed for the quiz the next day, unfortunately. <g>

The end result, though, was that the soldiers got creamed by the gamers. I
thought that was kind of funny, in a way. Sad, but funny.

I think it was the gamer aspect Marty liked so much about the crime scene.
There were factors to weigh and relationships between things and angles, and
when a guess was made, the team had to follow through with IF that's what we
think, then from what direction and where then and when? It was aa 3-D puzzle
with timeline factors. Right up his gaming alley.

I think there's a TV commercial like that. Expect I think in that one, the
service men kick butt!!! It's cute!
The gamers are so bummed about losing on line they remark, "Who ARE these
guys???"
