Interesting quotes:

Ynet has learned that 18-year-olds who tell recruiters they play the popular fantasy game are automatically given low security clearance.

“They're detached from reality and suscepitble to influence,” the army says.

"One of the tests we do, either by asking soldiers directly or through information provided us, is to ask whether they take part in the game," he says. "If a soldier answers in the affirmative, he is sent to a professional for an evaluation, usually a psychologist."

Total, utterless BULLSHIT. I play D&D, and do you see me going psyco or losing any of my resolve? No. This is the kind of narrow-minded crap that makes people poke fun at people who play D&D...

"Unusual hobby?"
"Weak personality?"
Who writes this stuff? I know hundreds of gamers, so it can't be all that unusual, and they all have strong personalities!
