To make its overseas operation more humane, the U.S military is putting real soldiers' stories in the video game. The new version of America's Army in the video game comes as a part of its recruitment strategy. However, the U.S military has denied that this is a way to sell or promote an unpopular war (and its images along with the stories) to the American public.

'America's Army, the game' was first released in July 2002. Now the game is one of the most popular online games with more than seven million registered players.
The Army originally developed this game to replicate the war combat and life in the military. Via this game it tries to reach young people for whom video games are a way of life.
