There was also Full Spectrum Warrior that was very close to the actual training tool used by the military at the time. I recall seeing the training tool and it's basically an alpha/beta game and would probably sell for 40 on steam these days as a finished game.

As for the original question, it's because they found gamers tend to have better coordination with using displays and controllers, thus are better at using unmanned vehicles or robots, though would need training ofcourse.

Oh yeah, this also reminds me of the time I was probably a target of being recruited in a video game. It was Ghost Recon Advanced Warfare 2, and I was using proper cover/suppression etc with an lmg. Guy then started going on about how good I was at doing such techniques like bounding and etc. Then was asking if I was in the service or considering it. It was one of those moments.
