Two Czech nationals were arrested recently for taking pictures of a top secret Greek military base while doing research for an upcoming video game. The two men work for Bohemia Interactive, an independent studio based in the Czech Republic, which is currently working on its next title Arma III. While on vacation, the two men were caught with pictures and footage of Lemnos and Agios Efstratios, two airbases belonging to the Greek military. 

Now let's be realistic, who knew that Greece had an air force? I'm pretty sure they are resorting to the barter system over there because their money isn't even worth money. And how dumb are these guys to get caught in the first place? Did the one guard stationed there notice them in the bushes after cleaning two biplanes and a hang glider, also known as the entire Greek Air Force? Will I stop asking questions? If these two men are charged with spying and found guilty, they will face quite some time in jail. Bohemia is known for making super realistic games and this just goes to show how damn realistic they get. I just wonder if these two guys think getting arrested was worth it for a game that nobody has ever even heard of. 

TL;DR Two video game makers were arrested for taking pictures of a Greek military base when it's questionable that Greece even has a military.
