A New Model Army Soldier Rolls Closer to Battle
By TIM WEINER
he American military is working on a new generation of soldiers, far different from the army it has.
"They don't get hungry," said Gordon Johnson of the Joint Forces Command at the Pentagon. "They're not afraid. They don't forget their orders. They don't care if the guy next to them has just been shot. Will they do a better job than humans? Yes."
The robot soldier is coming
I would add to this:
they have no brains
they have no concience
they have no religion
they certainly have somwhere a achilles heel
