Military leader condemns Iraq war game
General Sir Michael Rose, one of Britain's most respected and highest ranking soldiers, has condemned a computer game that features graphic video footage captured by US troops during the Iraq war.
The former head of UN peacekeeping in Bosnia and SAS commander said the inclusion of real-life footage in a 'gung-ho game' was morally questionable.
The game, Kuma War, is to be launched next year by an American company, Kuma Reality Games, and will enable players to recreate real missions, such as the raid that killed Saddam Hussein's sons, Uday and Qusay.
Sir Michael said the idea of a game using footage shot by real soldiers in a conflict situation was 'bizarre' and threw up complicated moral questions.
