‘Absolutely Terrifying’: White House Posts Video Of Iran Strikes Mixed With Call Of Duty Clips To Brag About War
HuffPost
"What in the f**k is wrong with you people?" one social media user wrote in response.
The White House is facing criticism after it posted a montage of clips from the popular video game series Call of Duty alongside what appeared to be real footage of the missile strikes in Iran — just days after the U.S. entered an armed conflict with the Middle Eastern country.
The video posted by the White House’s official account Wednesday begins with a killstreak animation from the video game before real military strike footage against Iranian targets appears. A killstreak in Call of Duty is when players receive rewards for getting a series of kills without dying.
The animation of the military video game used by the White House shows a player reaching a certain amount of kills and subsequently activating a massive missile strike to exterminate the opposing team.
The compilation was simply captioned: “Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue.”
The clip has been viewed nearly 50 million times, sparking outrage among X users, with one user writing, “What in the fuck is wrong with you people? Americans don’t wanna see you treat war like call of duty. Who the fuck is running this account.”
