[TheGame]

Hmm, seems we're not on the same page. I'm more talking the MGS series in general, and you seem to be on the main point of MGS4. MGS4 is set to take place in the future, so the happenings in that game are not meant to be in line with real world events because we're not living in that time yet.

It just paints a future that a lot of alarmists may see as real... but not something that nesicarily could be linked with a real event and time. The funny thing about the whole War economy point is... have you ever looked at the numbers of how much the US spends on each war?

I'm pretty sure someone somewhere is throwing a party when a war starts because they're about to get paid. A point was made, that the people who gain money and power from supporting/supplying wars are the "enemy", in MGS4 ts just at a time where they're making any excuse to fight so people feed into giving them more money and power.

I would give specific examples, but don't want to toss spoilers into this mix.

That's the point I walked away with anyway.
