Who would have thought that ICE would recruit the wrong, trigger happy people, who would eventually shoot and kill innocent civilians… by recruiting on the disinformation platform X using actual Halo video game graphics and the headline “Destroy the flood”?

They were steering right for it.

The US military is embedded in the gaming world. Its target: teen recruits

Amid a recruitment struggle, branches are using huge hits like Fortnite as marketing tools. Some veterans see the practice as unethical – especially given the age of the gaming audience

@randahl Obama and Biden who had the power and plenty of opportunities to abolish them, but they didn't, for example. But then they were both war criminals too..

At some point they will look at an enraged crowd and realize this game has no respawn.
