The media"s role has been to make people feel like war is a good idea. Media has failed over and over again to provide info about warfare and decisions made up to any military conlict. 3 roles of media in war: encourage recruitment/ soldiers (ideological role/ propaganda, people won"t know about what the military is doing unless the media is showing it, banal warfare- it seems common & as if it"s the norm. We know seem to be in a permanent state of excepion", where it"s supposed to be a short period of ime: militainment- enters into our life through all kinds of media (news, video games, movies, tv shows, etc. ). What happened is the games being used to train soldiers was being released to the public: studies show that 25-30% of the u. s. military just would not shoot or ire at people, even when they were under atack.
