    If you have the ability to build that why not just build robots and then wars can just be a battle between robots and no need for killing anyone.

    There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

    Would you allow some enemy to take over your country just because your robots lost a war? I don't think so.....

      If Robots invaded my country and destroyed everything would I have a choice?

        What I mean is that the use of force will always ultimately come down to people shooting at each other.

          But isn't that the point of robots? I'll drive my robot around looking for you until I find you and then shoot you. All while in my pjs eating hot pockets. :)

              From science fiction to science fact, or just plain delusional?

              The US Army is working to develop "revolutionary" smart armour that would give its troops "superhuman strength". It is calling on the technology industry, government labs and academia to help build the Iron Man-style suit.

              Looks pretty cool and it probably won't be long before they have a working prototype. I hope they don't outsource the communications; soldier: shit is hitting the fan I need help quick help desk: this is nnnn I am here to assist you, could you give me your ID to confirm your identity?

                    I think it's because robots are not quite there yet! But they do use robots already as much as they can. There are drones, gear carrying mules, deminers, probably more I dunno about!!

                        if you remove the human cost and suffering from wars you will make them the default action rather than the last resort

                        You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

                          That'll be useful for all that hand to hand combat you get in modern warfare.

                          It reminds me of the Star Trek episode where after millenniums of war, two conflicting countries' war evolved to where battles are entirely done by computer. Every day a missile would be sent to a random position in your country from the enemy's computers, and your computers would fire one back. Anyone in the kill zones must report to the disintegrators or real missiles will be used after the set time for death has been concluded. That way, you don't lose any of the culture or precious artifacts you have laying around (as the computers don't require changes to property). And you can keep your dignity by killing people :rolleyes:, but being civilised about it! Blood splatters are uncivilised!

                            Do you mean US sending robots everywhere to obliterate insurgents who barely have a clean bathroom to take a dump in?

                              Good summary of the episode (A Taste of Armegeddon). Of course the "moral" of the story was that these people had made war so sanitized and logical that they had removed the element of fear from the equation. In a supreme example of violating the non-interference principle Kirk destroys the computer and re-introduces fear by the imminent threat of real missles being used, thus finally resolving the centuries-old war. Fear... so under-valued.
