Here's a pretty well written piece that's just popped up on Kotaku by an active serviceman in the airforce that is defending the decision to ban the game near military bases.

The medal of honour fiasco
Banning something just makes it appeal to people even more.
It's utterly ridiculous that Medal of Honor is attracting any controversy at all! Modern Warfare had you playing as terrorists, did anyone moan? Do Russian games ban just about every FPS (as they all seem to star angry russians these days?)
It's over sensitive crybabies finding a new scapegoat.
My favorite quote was something like: 'These are mothers who have lost their children in a war and are now playing horrific content like this'
Err...? How many mom's without sons would actually buy a war based shooter? Honestly...the stupidity these days...

It looks like EA have buckled. Shame really; though I can understand that they don't want to be disrespectful to anyone I was hoping that this could be an occasion where the old media's opinions didn't bully new media.
