The US Army is considering replacing thousands of soldiers with robots as it deals with sweeping troop cuts.
A senior American officer has said he is considering shrinking the size of the Army’s brigade combat teams by a quarter and replacing the lost troops with robots and remote-controlled vehicles.

They’re doing it to have their own army that doesn’t have loyalties, families or religious objections to mowing down children and old people. And using the intended victims tax dollars to develop this tech to boot.
It’s only a matter of time before the elites have mechanized and roboticized and AI’d every single one of us peasants out of being useful. Then the fun really begins.
Save the troops. Use more bombs.
Machines also need people to maintain and repair them.

“The wars of the future will not be fought on land, or sea. They will be fought in space, or on the tops of very high mountains. And they will be fought not by you, but by robots. And as you go forth today, always remember, that it will be your duty to build and maintain those robots.” - grad speech, Bart graduating from military school.
