WW2 PC, PS2, etc. games "make a kid kill" about the same way walking into your garage "makes you a car." I believe if a person has the mental propensity to commit murder, void of any conscience, as so many of today's generation X-ers' are, they will do so whether or not they indulge in video games or not. I do believe the barrage of television violence has desensitized our nation. I used to work in the emergency room as an x-ray tech at a major trauma center in Fort Worth, Texas, and one night we got a teenager in for gunshot wounds to his lower leg. I'll never forget his surprised reaction as we began to "treat" him. He remarked, "Man, this really hurts." I reminded him that a metal projectile entering the human body normally causes extreme damage accompanied by severe pain. He evidently thought he would walk away like John Wayne or some other ficticious example he'd seen. He learned a hard, but good lesson that evening.
