Future War

Those guys were in hog heaven out there, do you understand, man? They had the big weapons catalogue opened up. “What’s G12 do, Tommy?” “Well, it says here it destroys everything but the fillings in their teeth, helps us pay for the war effort, well shit, pull that one up. Pull up G12 please.” (missile explosion noise). “Cool, what’s G13 do?”

BBC News: US plans ‘robot troops’ for Iraq
The US military is planning to deploy robots armed with machine-guns to wage war against insurgents in Iraq.

The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea. They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain. In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by small robots. And as you go forth today remember always your duty is clear: To build and maintain those robots. Thank you.
