Letters From the Call of Duty Front

If soldiers in Call of Duty could write letters home, what would they say?

Games like Call of Duty help people live out war fantasies of being the mighty hero in a safe environment, but nobody really thinks they’re in any way like the real deal. Case in point, the letters seen here at Dorkly, written from the perspective of a soldier on the COD battlefield.

It may start sounding almost sincere, but it quickly devolves into poking fun at the ridiculous conventions of Call of Duty: Black Ops (like being written by a brave soldier named PwnziScheme83, for one). Frankly, as someone who’s been spending much of the holiday evenings playing Black Ops with his younger brother, I can’t help but find it hilarious.
