Erin: America's Army was once again a strong presence at E3. Not only was their equipment parked outside, but actual soldiers were strolling the halls. One of them grabbed my camera, handed me his gun, and then took a picture. Boy do I not look amused in that pic!

Kyle: I remember leaving E3 on the second day and seeing a helicopter doing swooping fly-bys as an Army spokesman described the helicopter's stats. And I thought: "this is what video gaming is all about."
