Robots to Replace Troops on the Battlefield
 

which one of you is going to save sarah connor? :helpme :1orglaugh

The Pentagon is considering replacing thousands of troops with robots, a military commander said recently, marking the first time a DOD official has publicly acknowledged that humans would be replaced with robots on the battlefield.

Gen. Robert Cone, head of the Army Training and Doctrine Command, made the comment at the Army Aviation symposium on Jan. 15, according to a report in Defense News, a trade publication covering the military. He said that robots would allow for “a smaller, more lethal, deployable and agile force.”

“I’ve got clear guidance to think about what if you could robotically perform some of the tasks in terms of maneuverability, in terms of the future of the force,” Cone said.

DOD did not respond to a request for comment on Cone’s remarks.

This is not new really.... We had a thread about this last year complete with videos of testing if I recall correctly.

Let's face it... The future is here.... We dreamed of a time when anyone could reach out and touch anyone at any time, no matter where they were. That's here - now five year olds have cell phones with more computing power than we used to get the moon.

The only thing we don't have yet is the transporter and food replicators.

Bullshit!

We left those on the moon.

They already have drones, they seem to kill people pretty well.

Then, it will be robot vs robot very soon. Generals and politicians will be like playing video games.
