New robots — none of them very human-looking — are being designed to handle a broad range of tasks, despite controversy about the impact on future warfare. See article in the New York Times.
- What makes war impossible to win is the human love and knowledge. The human in the soldier can't see kids and women as the enemy it is ordered to obliterate. And Soldiers get confused and disheartened when they read new papers and learn of the $708 billion the military machine receives and how the money lands in a few, very secretive hands -Obama does not even know which- while they are sacrificed: 6,000 soldiers have died, 50,000 are maimed for life and 100,000s have psychological damages. Now if wars are conducted with machines the human element won't get in the way and the public will less likely get informed and see the horrific pictures of war; the military will be empowered beyond what is safe for the US and the world. Soldiers will be video gamers removed from the actual blood baths while the few benefiting from the war -the ones who want to control opium production for pharmaceutical use in Europe and in the US; and to protect oil pipelines which carry stolen petroleum for European and American consumption - will fill their pockets with impunity from war crimes.
