With war games selling millions of copies every year, it is stunning that few people even care about the real ones going on.

For the wounded, they live the rest of their lives wondering who is going to care about them, but when they think about the devotion gamers have to the make believe heroes, it cuts deeper than simple ambivalence to their real lives.

Do you ever wonder what life would be like for them if these gammers cared about them as much as they do about their games?
