Medal of Honor Pulled From Military Stores

"Out of respect to those we serve, we will not be stocking this game," said AAFES Commander Maj. Gen. Bruce Casella in a statement.

"We regret any inconvenience this may cause authorized shoppers, but are optimistic that they will understand the sensitivity to the life and death scenarios this product presents as entertainment. As a military command with a retail mission, we serve a very unique customer base that has, or possibly will, witness combat in real life."

This measure is due to the development made last month that gamers will be able to play as Taliban insurgents during Medal of Honor's multiplayer modes. The banning of Medal of Honor on American military bases will affect Army and Air Force Exchange operations wordwide.
