The U.S. government is using its war with Iran like a video game, using live combat as social media content and broadcasting it to millions. The White House's online messaging has included videos featuring real missile strikes with footage from Call of Duty, Wii Sports, and Hollywood blockbusters. The videos have been criticized for obscuring the human cost of war, with at least 13 U.K. service members killed and hundreds injured in the conflict. The games have been successful in projecting strength and reinforcing President Trump's image as a leader who hits hard. However, they have been met with criticism, with Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich calling them a "profound moral failure" that strips away the humanity of real people.
