Troops Gaming Abroad

I have family currently serving in the military and aunts and uncles that served in Desert Storm, and even my father was in the Army for twenty years, now retired. It kind of warms the gamer's heart to know that the troops can kick back after a day's work and get some game time in. In my father's time it was just radio, periodicals, TV, and of course getting into trouble the kind of things that make the real good war stories. Now in addition to these diversions its cool to know the troops can kick back and relax by racing sports cars, playing sports, saving the universe all from the comfort of sitting in front of a TV and being with a group of friends. I'm sure troops will still have off duty hijinks that make for good war stories about getting in and out of trouble. Who knows friends and family members might rest a little easier knowing that the troops have one more thing to keep them busy in their down time, that makes them feel a little closer to home.
