    This game, even back in 2005-2009 with the original version that was dropped by Konami, has had links to CIA funding. The CEO of the current publisher( Victura games) of Six Days in Fallujah, was also the CEO of the development company behind the original version of Six Days in Fallujah (Atomic Games). His name is Peter Tamte. He was in charge of video game development company Destineer, until Destineer purchased Atomic Games in May 2005 and Peter Tamte took over Atomic Games. After Destineer made a game in close co operation with the US marines in 2004-2005 called Close Combat: First to Fight, Peter Tamte and Destineer were approached in June 2005 by In-Q-Tel, a CIA funded venture capital firm. Here's Peter Tamte's words on it:

    In-Q-Tel saw the work we were doing for the Marine Corps and inquired about making a substantial investment in the company. This allowed us to expand our training business to begin building training systems for a large number of intelligence agencies.

    So just a month after Destineer acquires Atomic Games and the rights to the game Six Days in Fallujah, the CIA invest in the company. Also Peter Tamte changed roles to become the CEO of Atomic Games. Definitely not suspicious at all.
