assassination re-created in video game is a story about
JFK Reloaded. This game looks to
recreate the JFK assassination (41 years ago today), describing it as a way of
proving or disproving conspiracy theories about the shooting, offering a cash
prize for a player that can recreate the shots attributed to Lee Harvey Oswald.
the POTUS is Commander-in-Chief. He's the highest ranking person in the military. As such, killing him is no different than killing any other poor soldier in Call of Duty. They all have families, too. And they're all connected to reality, and just because they're not specifically named doesn't mean anything. Because they are all representatives of "German soldiers". Some people argue that all German soldiers were "evil" and thus OK to kill. The thing is, all German soldiers who were captured by America were released back into the public. Many outright Nazis were hired by the CIA and granted US citizenship. And look it from the POV of a German WW2 veteran. Would he think the fact that the Germans are unnamed as a reason enough to have fun killing German soldiers in COD? Probably not. Because they are representations of his former comrades. JFK is a representation of our former comrade, so some people are pissed off, even though we've been doing the same stuff against other people for years. And the William Blum book is great and correct. JFK was very much a soldier, launching wars, and Oswald was a Communist who thought he was defending Cuba. Assassinating Presidents is just a small scale act of war.
I think people are forgetting that the President dresses like a civilian, but the bulk of his activities are something that a military commander does. The guy should be wearing a full military uniform, if he wanted to be honest.
