I don't get to play as "Chelsea" in PES, but if I select "London FC" I still get Drogba and Lampard...
The Taliban are still in MoH, in every way other than name. It's such a subtle change that I can't quite get my head around why anyone thinks that the situation is different at all. They're probably the same people who think "fuck" is an unacceptable word to print in a newspaper, but "f**k" is fine. "F**k" means "fuck", just as much as "fuck" means "fuck"...
The attention that these media whores have brought to this non-issue has only served to implant the word "Taliban" into everyones minds. "Opposing force" means "Taliban" in the minds of everyone who will play the game.
If I had ruined my career fighting a fight that most people didn't want to be fought, I would probably claim dillusional little victories too.
