The executive producer of "America's Army," the free online game funded by the U.S. Army, is hopping mad at hackers who have taken advantage of the game's security holes, saying, "the Army is angry, and we're coming for you."

DeLuca's post, which has since been removed from the site, went on to say that "we know who you are, and can track down where you play from." He also went so far as to cite 20th century tensions between Japan and the United States to lambaste who he called "the bad guys."

"In the early 1940's, Japan learned an important lesson " "let the sleeping giant lie. We may not react swiftly, but when we do it's with unstoppable force. The Army has partners that deal with cyber crime as a matter of course. These include not just various Army IT departments, but also the Department of Justice, the Secret Service, and the Federal Bureau of Investigations."

3. Hmm, Osama, the Iraqi resistance, and now video game hackers.

The army's got their hands full huh? May Bush guide them in this dark hour and catch these video game enemies of freedom and democracy.

4. They can't even protect themselves from insurgents in video games

that is really sad. Why can't these people just keep their stupid mouths shut so they don't show their stupidity to the entire world.
