D&D Players "detached from reality"

according to the Israeli Defence Forces

Ynet has learned that 18-year-olds who tell recruiters they play the popular fantasy game are automatically given low security clearance.

“They're detached from reality and suscepitble to influence,” the army says.

Fans of the popular roleplaying game had spoken of rumors of this strange policy by the IDF, but now the army has confirmed that it has a negative image of teens who play the game and labels them as problematic in regard to their draft status.


That's up to the IDF, but I seem to remember most of TSR in the early days being ex US Army.
