I know it's just a video game, but this is some heavy de-humanisation, killing of hundreds of innocenmt civillians at a russian airport in the name of global peace.
What i call double agent / double blind false flag terrorism.

A lot of the comments from kids on this level are about it being the best level, and most fun to play.
Don't get me wrong i love first person shooters, i think they can be a great fun.
Is it just me, am i getting more cynical by the day. Is this taking it just a tad too far?

Of course it's going to far, but kids are totally brainwashed; they think it's cool.
I tried to wake a few on a video game forum, only 2 others felt as I did, the dozens of others were all fine with it.

Umberto Eco, the famous Italian writer and thinker, at the end of an article on the lost of sensible communication in society, calls the Flashing lights on your visual retina which are present if you played a video game (at that time - early 70s - he could only imagine military shooter) all day: THE BEGINNING OF THE END

Weird thing to put in a game. A real life airport massacre occurred in Israel in 1972.

It was carried out by members of a Japanese terrorist group, the Japanese Red Army. This was back in the days when there were quite a few active Marxist terrorist groups around; before Islamic terrorism was big.
