Comment War with no downside.... (Score 1) 785
Imagine a world where a rich powerful country can just send in the robots.
It they could make war without any of their own body bags coming back, what would hold them back ?
Iraq is in the headlines on a daily basis as US soldiers die. If it was only US robots being destroyed, while "natives", or "insurgents" were killed, what would press the administration to resolve the war.
What I am raising is the issue of making the horrors of war one sided. If you have a peace force of robots, fine.
But what about when a rich country has less noble motives. With no body bags coming home, what is to stop that country ?
