Israeli Army frowns on Dungeons and Dragons

Pretty funny article... I'm glad our military doesn't care. I spent my time playing D&D with my fellow Marines with a Top Secret (SCI) clearance for myself and TS or Secret for most of the other players.
Ynet has learned that 18-year-olds who tell recruiters they play the popular fantasy game are automatically given low security clearance.

"They're detached from reality and suscepitble to influence," the army says.

Ha! That's funny. You would think the military, of all people, would be happy with people that enjoy killing enemies by the handful :)
