The Army & Air Force Exchange Service has decided that, despite EA's recent moniker change of "Taliban" to "Opposing Force" in Medal of Honor's multiplayer component, that its decision not to sell the title "remains unchanged."

In a statement, the AAFES's Commander Maj. Gen. Bruce Casella said, "Out of respect to those touched by the ongoing, real-life events presented as a game, Exchanges will not be carrying this product." He continued, "I expect the military families who are authorized to shop the Exchange are aware, and understanding, of the decision not to carry this particular offering."

Last week, the AAFES was "engaged in a thorough review to fully understand the extent of the modifications." Apparently it wasn't enough. We've contacted EA for a statement.

MW2 is one of the most unrealistic military shooters ever made Hooly.

But what about GameStops located inside of a PX/BX? What about them, huh Mr. Commander Major General Bruce Casella?

What you people don't seem to understand is that the *crag*ing military brass isn't a bunch of gamers.

Who the *crag* goes to military stores to buy games?
Toys R Us and Target usually have better deals around here anyways.
