For my own personal opinion, I'd much rather have robots doing the governments dirty work than humans.
i must respectfully disagree.
if we do this, it will make not only our government, but our electorate, more willing to engage in military actions. if military actions only has a dollar cost associated, and not a human cost, then war becomes merely a budget issue.
war must involve our own deaths, or we will engage in it endlessly.
