I thought the controversial first-person survival/shooter game Six Days in Fallujah was dead over a decade ago. At the time, I felt its cancellation was good riddance to bad rubbish. But today I learned it’s back on schedule for a 2021 release. My complete disdain for this title has a bit more nuance today.

I enlisted in the US Navy exactly 21 years ago today, on 17 February 2000. I knew at least two of the US Marines who died in the 2004 battle the video game portrays. And, by the time Six Days In Fallujah was canceled in 2009, dozens of sailors, soldiers, airmen, and marines I knew were still in that theater.
