Apparently, this kid was a high school dropout, joined the military as a drone pilot, and rose through the ranks to a drone pilot instructor, thanks to his experience playing XBox.

The story also mentions how Air Force pilots don't like this one bit, because they've got college educations, and this little pipsqueak is doing more than them.
Hmm, maybe I should look into drone piloting...

lol wars of the future brought to you by microsoft and xbox live

As long as they don't give the little turd anything with weapons...

I know that's not what you meant but "lol wars" sounds awesome! LOL wars: The ROFLMAO conflict. XD

It was a time of OMGWTFBBQ!
The Atlantean Empire had PWND all the NOOBS but then rose a LEET HAXOR who told them in no uncertain terms GTFO!

Oh dear, I don't normally say this about people but you should work for EA...
The story is no real surprise, who better than a gamer to do rapid multitasking and control units remotely. The only unusual thing is that it wasn't an RTS gamer with uber-micro

I'm not sure what you're talking about but I feel vaguely insulted.

They made fun of us.
"What a nerd" "Get a life" they said.
hehehe. Now I wonder what they will say to some carpet bombing?

Um... "What the fuck is wrong with you that was Baghdad!?"?

What game did he play on the XBox that would even come close to piloting something in real Life?
Hey, I've played a lot of Pong. Do you think I could be the next Tennis World Champion?

If you were playing tennis via a remote controlled robot player, maybe.

And the chans yelled out in unison" TITS OR GTFO!!"

It'd be the idea of multitasking and remote operation rather than any specific game. Well unless predator UAVs fly like they were in ace combat 6...

I've been playing games for nearly 30 years now and from almost every computer/game system/console and never got a job from doing it. It's a blatant discrimination choosing xbox over other platforms...:P

That sounds like unemployed PS3 fanboyism! Get an xbox and you'll get a job!
