As part of a new pilot program, 22 VA facilities around the country will be receiving a gift from Microsoft: X-Box Adaptive Controllers, which are specially designed for gamers with mental or physical disabilities. "We owe so much to the service and sacrifice of our Veterans, and as a company, we are committed to supporting them," Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in a press statement. "Our X-Box Adaptive Controller was designed to make gaming more accessible to millions of people worldwide, and we're partnering with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to bring the device to Veterans with limited mobility."
The military hospitals will be using them to help rehabilitate wounded warriors, and X-Box chief Phil Spencer says if it's successful - the program could expand. The collaboration aims to improve rehabilitation and recreation for veterans by challenging muscle activation and hand-eye coordination, and encouraging greater participation in social and recreational activities. That will include participation in e-sports as well as traditional solo gaming.

You khazar jewish agents are easy to spot. Always asking for names and phone numbers. You never stop. There is no jail for you yet but there will be.
And by the way, ISIS is israeli khazar army. And the Phillipines bombing happened just a week ago. Israeli khazars have been pushing the agenda for far longer. They made the U.S invade Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, ... They are pushing for sanctions against Iran and others.
There is a special place in hell for the khazars, but right here on Earth, we have to make it for you. You are the ones that were kicked out 109 times from lands not your own.
The world is indeed far more complex and subtle than we've been led to believe.
Jewish rat begone!!!

Bah! Just leave it be. I stepped right in that one by assuming he was sincere in his beliefs. But now I see his reply, I realize no one could actually be that stupid. This is probably the same AC running around saying the moon landing was a hoax and the earth is flat. Yes there are people who really believe those things. There are even people who genuinely believe that everyone who disagrees with them is an an agent of whatever they feel threatened by that day.
But this moron is just getting his jollies from riling people up and I fell for it. /facepalm
Now I have mod points I could down mod it, but that seems like a waste of good mod points. Better to just not feed the trolls in the first place, lesson learned.
