At least, that's my reference. Many gamers I know are extremely honorable, several of them are in the military or are veterans. Maybe your mileage may vary in the spirit department. The beauty of America, to me, is that you can say things like "I didn't ask you to suffer for my sake. I owe gratitude to *no one*." and you are protected in your speech.

You've got to be kidding. Have you been to a gaming venue lately? I've seen the levels of fitness and "warior code" is not one of traits that came to mind. And as for the constant demand that I show gratitude for the people who suffered for my behalf: I did not ask you to suffer for my sake. I owe gratitude to *no one*. "If any segment of society lives out the warriors' code, it's gamers."

And there are gamers on the front lines. I've known a few. If any segment of society lives out the warriors' code, it's gamers.
