OKay so now a non-smart ass reply. It's in bad taste, yeah, but a bad taste that isn't in my mind really a horrible taste. I'd probably flip through this for the sheer curiousity.
lol, hell I might buy it if the pertinent OGL content was in it. The reason I think it is in bad taste, is because people over there are risking life and limb. And yes, it is recent in memory, hell, the situation is going on right now. But I see your point, it's not like I wasn't playing team deathmatch in a UT Strike Force map last night called Afghan caverns. Hypocrisy is a sweet sweet thing.
