Army Launches $50 Million Videogame Push

The Army's Training and Doctrine Command is getting ready to pour $50 million into videogames that'll help troops get ready for combat. Development won't start until 2010, Stars & Stripes reports. The games themselves wont be ready until 2015. By then, the U.S. military will be in its eighth decade, using games to prep troops for war -- starting with primitive, 1940s flight simulators bought from a Coney Island amusement park.
