There is no "valor" in modern warfare. That is long past. But it is no surprise that people like you have not gotten that message...

Says the person who's never been in combat. Only those who haven't served and/or haven't been in combat make comments like that. Is it your lack of first hand experience in matter, or a lack of comprehension of the English language?

Right out of the Google machine:

valor
noun: valour; noun: valor
great courage in the face of danger, especially in battle.
"the medals are awarded for acts of valor"
synonyms: bravery, courage, pluck, nerve, daring, fearlessness, audacity, boldness, dauntlessness, stout-heartedness, heroism, backbone, spirit; More
antonyms: cowardice


I'm sorry I don't see anything about whether or not you feel a particular military action was justified or any kind moral acceptance. Acts of bravery happen in combat whether or not you agree with the justification for military action or what side you are on.

Yeah, yeah...I know, don't feed the trolls. Sometimes I can't help myself.

Typical government response:

1) Think of a "solution", consequences be damned
2) Create a bigger mess with the "solution" than previously existed
3) ???
4) Tax to pay for it! (the government's version of "profit"

While all this is true...it's Duke. I for one expected exactly what the demo showed.

Cutting edge graphics? No...It's Duke.
Juvenile and campy? Yes...again, it's Duke.

Hard core gamers need to break out of their mother's basements and take Duke for what it is...A guilty pleasure with nudity, toilet humor, and an ass kicking good time. It's the leisure suit larry of our generation. For those who expect Duke to push the technical limits or be some revolution in game play, get over yourselves...those are NOT the reasons we play Duke.
