>>> I see robot soldiers not being used as widely as you seem to hope they will be, for strictly political reasons. Robot ground troops would make us even more hated than we already are. It isn't a matter of "hoping", it is just where things are going. I do think it is a far more preferable way of conducting wars over what we now do. But if you are assuming WE will have robots and the other guys won't, you have another think coming. For example, Turkey currently has a number of Predator drones on order. So, over time, all major military organizations will have robots to do their fighting. We could argue about whether that is good or bad.
