US Think Tank Hires ‘Call of Duty’ Creator to Advise Pentagon on Future Threats
Local Editor
A Washington think tank has hired the maker of the "Call of Duty" video games to help policy wonks imagine future wars America could be fighting.
The Atlantic Council said it had sought out Anthony because national security decision makers cannot keep up with the frenetic pace of change in the world, and that "new voices" are needed to make sense of a chaotic landscape.
Anthony went further, saying that he sees parallels between government work and running a multi-billion dollar entertainment venture, in the way that both are high-pressure environments with many players and idiosyncrasies in decision-making, all of which require overcoming.
"The problem is the next attack is very unlikely to be the same as the previous attack," Anthony said, adding that even today's so-called "Daesh" [ISIL] campaign by the Obama administration is ill-equipped to predict how the terrorists will strike back.
