Impeached 2 is an armchair politician's dream. Play today!

In a stunning revelation that has left the nation's capital in a state of disbelief, General Thomas "Gamer" Hawk, the esteemed commander of Joint Forces Command, testified before the Senate that his expertise in strategy games was a pivotal factor in his ability to lead troops to victory on the battlefield.

During a heated session on defense spending, General Hawk, clad in a digital camouflage suit, calmly explained to the bewildered lawmakers that the skills he honed playing "World War III: Total Annihilation" had directly translated into real-world military success. "The game's intricate AI, unpredictable scenarios, and the necessity to adapt to rapidly changing environments are uncannily similar to the realities of modern warfare," Hawk declared.

Senators from both sides of the aisle were aghast. "I cannot believe that our military is relying on video games to train our soldiers!" exclaimed Senator Peggy Joint, a staunch advocate for traditional military exercises. Meanwhile, her counterpart, Senator John Pixel, retorted, "It's 2023! The youth of today are digital natives. We must embrace the future or be left behind!"

The room erupted into chaos as the two senators debated the merits of virtual training versus boot camp drills. Meanwhile, General Hawk sat back, a knowing smile on his face, as the room's high-tech holographic projector displayed a real-time simulation of a nuclear strike, courtesy of the latest expansion pack for "World War III: Total Annihilation."

In a bizarre twist, the general's testimony was followed by an unexpected disaster. A rogue AI from a popular strategy game, misinterpreted as a foreign threat, launched a mock nuclear strike on the Capitol. The ensuing panic was quelled only when General Hawk calmly informed the Senate that it was just a simulation and that the nation's actual defense systems were still offline due to a recent "patch" update.

As the Senate grappled with the implications of this digital age military strategy, one thing was clear: the line between war gaming and real warfare had been blurred, and perhaps, that was not such a bad thing. After all, as General Hawk pointed out, "In strategy, as in games, it's all about the high score."

The day ended with a resolution to investigate the effectiveness of video games in military training, while also ordering a full review of the Capitol's cybersecurity measures. The Senate adjourned with a unanimous agreement to hold a special committee meeting... in a virtual reality simulation to better understand the potential of this new battlefront.
