...quoted Reg Keys, father of a fallen British soldier, as saying the game "is particularly crass when you consider what actually happened in Fallujah. These horrific events should be confined to the annuls of history, not trivialised and rendered for thrill-seekers to play out, over and over again, for ever more."

He's calling us thrill-seekers!

The article I linked doesn't talk about Konami dropping the game (which just happened yesterday) but you can look that up on your own if you don't believe me.
