Also like, obviously this is all military propaganda but barely euphemistically calling something Call of Duty: War Crimes is really on the nose and doing it 6 times had made it pretty obvious thst normal people have no idea what Black Ops refers to IRL. They think top tier operator missions not Honduran death squads funded by drug money cause a black op can't be on an official budget and needs operating capital from somewhere.

Nah in the Call of Duty Black Ops games, you literally partake in missions like the Honduran death squads one you described. The opening of Black Ops 2 is literally being part of a death squad in Angola where you help Jonas Savimbi slaughter the MPLA. People like that, that's the point of the games. To normalise this kind of US military activity amongst the general public.
