Instead of the kind of the uncritical hero worship many war games fall into, High Speed Low Drag feels like an honest and well-intentioned deep dive into the life of a modern soldier. Complete with all it's trials and tribulations.
What games "fall" into uncritical hero worship and why is that bad? Why is a game better if it is critical of its protagonists? Games are supposed to be escapist fun. I don't see what's wrong with having heroic soldiers fighting against evil.

I’m really enjoying this game! Are there any physical copies available for this (and Long in the Tooth)?

The fact that the "Evil" usually takes the form of specific ethnic groups/racial stereotypes and tends to fuel American Jingoistic nonsense?
