We've got a few space aliens too

"what's funny about using Microsoft Chat is that everybody has to choose an icon to represent themselves. Some of these guys haven't bothered, so the program assigns them one. We'll be in the middle of a battle and a bunch of field artilery colonels will come online in the form of these big-breasted blondes. We've got a few space aliens, too." em Wired For War, aonde é descrito o uso de chatrooms pelo exército do tio Sam estacionado no Iraque e Afeganistão.

E um bocadinho mais atrás, sobre um dia na vida dos pilotos que voam os aviões robóticos a partir do deserto do Nevada, "Another talked about flying missions in Afghanistan, and then getting home in time to watch reruns of the TV sitcom Friends"


Algo de profundamente errado está a acontecer nesta forma de fazer a guerra.
