My Comment: This is an over reaction. There was a time when playing video games was one of my favorite pass times .... and even though my nationality is Russian .... I had no problem playing the Nazis and/or any other nefarious group.
Unfortunately .... in today's politically correct world .... those in power think we are too stupid to figure out what we are doing .... hence no game for the soldiers who would probably enjoy playing it.
