Soldatii americani, innebuniti dupa Call of Duty si Battlefield


Frustrat ca in pachetele primite de acasa nu gasea niciodata o consola sau un joc video, un militar american detasat in Irak s-a decis sa intre „in afaceri” pentru a-i binedispune pe camarazii sai de arme. Dupa doi ani petrecuti in tara condusa odinioara de Saddam Hussein, capitanul Stephen Machuga, astazi in varsta de 36 de ani, a infiintat un ONG si un blog, cu ajutorul carora a adunat bani si a cumparat jocuri.

„Majoritatea civililor nu cunosc adevaratele nevoi ale militarilor de pe front si, de aceea, le trimit hartie igienica sau altceva ce mai au la indemana. Multumesc, dar daca pui in acelasi pachet pudra pentru picioare si prajituri, voi avea prajituri cu gust de pudra pentru picioare”, scria recent Stephen pe blogul sau (http://fronttowardsgamer.com/ ). 



Dupa ce a revenit in SUA si s-a retras din Armata, in 2003, Stephen a inceput sa trimita jocuri video gamerilor detasati in Afganistan. Capitanul (r) s-a folosit de organizatia sa non-profit, Operation Supply Drop (http://fronttowardsgamer.com/osd/ ), pentru a gasi cea mai buna solutie de trimitere a pachetelor cu jocuri catre soldatii din teatrul de operatiuni din Afganistan. Cele mai multe cereri venite de pe front sunt pentru jocurile Call of Duty si Battlefield pentru Xbox 360

Initiativa lui Stephen este sustinuta de Rockstar Games , EA Sports, Activision, 2K Games, THQ etc.
