No Medal of Honor Sales on US Bases

[Sep 02, 2010, 8:11 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The upcoming Medal of Honor reboot will not be sold in GameStop stores located in US military bases, nor will Electronic Arts' military shooter be sold in US PXs around the world, reports Kotaku, saying this is based on the controversial ability to play as the Taliban forces in the game. "GameStop has agreed out of respect for our past and present men and women in uniform we will not carry Medal of Honor in any of our AAFES based stores," is an excerpt from a GameStop email to employees on the decision. "As such, GameStop agreed to have all marketing material pulled by noon today and to stop taking reservations. Customers who enter our AAFES stores and wish to reserve Medal of Honor can and should be directed to the nearest GameStop location off base."

I now a person who is an ex taliban. He was trained in the USA to fight the russians. Later he came back to the USA and settled here. Its hilarious they are now enemy number 1, when 15 years ago we were arming them and training them.

Sounds a bit like Iraq which we used to arm and were our allies when they were fighting Iran.

It sort of depends on what the election cycle is and how much of a boost in the polls the party in power needs.
