Kumawar

“This game actually makes me flash back and think about the war and the aftermath....But that’s not necessarily bad. Being that I will be going back to Iraq for a 3RD tour, I'll say that it's much better fighting from my PC behind a desk then actually slinging lead at each other.” - SGT from HHC 1/64 Armor, 3rd Infantry Division(M)
