AAFES has stopped all pre-order and future sales of EAs upcoming Medal of Honor video game, both CONUS and OCONUS, over concerns that the game includes a multiplayer mode that lets the player fight as a Taliban character. This ban includes worldwide PXs and all AAFES GameStop concessions.

Gaming blog Kotaku has it pretty well covered. They have comments from GameStop and AAFES:

“Out of respect to those we serve, we will not be stocking this game,” the Army & Air Force Exchange Service’s Commander Maj. Gen. Bruce Casella, told Kotaku. “We regret any inconvenience this may cause authorized shoppers, but are optimistic that they will understand the sensitivity to the life and death scenarios this product presents as entertainment. As a military command with a retail mission, we serve a very unique customer base that has, or possibly will, witness combat in real life.”
