Eisenhower joins the fray in the X06 Army of Two trailer
“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.”
These were some of the most memorable words in former President Dwight Eisenhower’s farewell speech to the nation as he stepped down from office in January 17, 1961. These powerful words bear even more weight in light of the prevailing fears many nations have of terrorist attacks and impending wars, and especially in the way war allows men to do things they could never do otherwise.
This powerful line also sets the tone for Electronic Arts‘ new trailer for Army of Two for the 360 and the PS3, which plays on this by giving Eisenhower a cameo role, speaking in between moments of the trailer itself. You will also get a glimpse of the now-infamous (thanks to MGS4) concept of PMCs, or private military contractors, because you will have to play as one.
Like it or not, your tour of duty has just begun, gamer. Watch the video and see for yourself.
