"Tolerance for war is totally reflected in today's video games. "

Perhaps, but it no different than the tolerance of war that was reflected in movies of earlier generations, as well as comic books, pulp magazines, novels etc.   In those times, you had the media supporting the efforts just as much.   It may not have been as graphic, but the case could be made that by NOT showing the violence it made war that much more acceptable. For a kid in 1940 who only read comic book stories of the glory of war, were they prepared to face the reality of the horrors of war?

Yes, it is true that technology can blend reality with fantasy. However, writers did the same in the past.   Is it fair to protest against a so-called violent video game and call works of literature "great art" when they reach the same conclusions?

In this day and age we have access to different views and different opinions. Violence and intolerance have ALWAYS been with us, but perhaps today we have greater opportunities to teach different paths.
