It's definitely propaganda, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. At the end of the day it's the Commander-in-Chief who has the final say on military operations and it's up to Congress to declare war (not that they ever do, the cowards). The Army itself serves an important purpose--even if that purpose has been corrupted.

In the mean time, if you have a sound mind you can enjoy the game despite your misgivings about needless foreign intervention or other concerns related to contemporary military operations.

Oh my gosh! The Talos Principle is absolutely amazing! You simply *must* try the demo, liamdawe. Even if you can't stand puzzle games, other people have said the same and still managed to enjoy this awesome game. The scenery and intrigue alone is worth it, even if you need to resort to walk-throughs. And unlike Portal, this game will seriously make you think. This is probably the only game I've seen with quotes from diverse folks like G. K. Chesterton, William Blake, and Cicero. Who does that?

Simply the best game of 2014, hands down.
