Just for the record, the Army will not be marketing either of these titles to the public. That's a decision which will be left up to the individual developers, who will have the option of adapting the resulting products for public use if they decide to do so.
Also, I should point out that the goal of CS-12 is not to train people to kill. Its primary goal is to help company commanders learn skills which will make them more effective leaders in all situations. The mandate of the project specifically includes non-combat missions. In such cases, the firing of a weapon is often considered failure of the mission. Ultimately, the goal is to make soldiers more effective and therefore save lives.
