Last week Electronic Arts removed the Taliban – in name only – from their upcoming military first-person shooter, Medal of Honor, renaming them the “Opposing Forces.”
As far as the US military is concerned, that’s not enough.
“Out of respect to those touched by the ongoing, real-life events presented as a game, Exchanges will not be carrying this product,” said US Army & Air Force Exchange Service Commander Maj. Gen. Bruce Casella.
“While we regret any inconvenience this may cause, our position is consistent with the direction stated a month ago. I expect the military families who are authorized to shop the Exchange are aware, and understanding, of the decision not to carry this particular offering.”
Medal of Honor will be released on the 15th of October for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
