Chinese PC game takes aim at American soldiers

I'd be pretty funny if someone got upset over this.
"Glorious Mission" is a first-person shooter much like the "Call of Duty" series, except it stars Chinese troops - and the enemies are apparently American soldiers.

The game was co-developed by the People's Liberation Army's Nanjing branch, and is (for now) intended for use by soldiers as a training aid.

The idea of a game being developed and used by a nation's military might seem unusual, but it's not a new one. In fact, the United States did the same thing nine years ago: "America's Army" acted as both a training tool and a public relations campaign to drive recruitment when it was released in 2002.
