It will probably happen, even if it makes a lot of people outside the combat zone nervous.

Well, they are the ones who matter most... /s

The only group nervous about combat robots are liberals. They will have no relatives to trot out like cindy sheehan.

These 'robots' are not the autonomous machines envisioned by Asimov et al but remotely controlled devices, like an R- c toy with a weapon attached.

If you look carefully you will find that Minuteman missiles are "robotic" in the sense of not being piloted. As were V-1s and V-2s. As are were WWII torpedos.

Fuss and Trouble. I didn't know there were any other books than Bolo: The Annals of the Dinochrome Brigade.

Sections of that book can still bring tears to my eyes..."Was I a good boy...Daddy?"

Will have to hunt up the others.

Cheers!

If guns for robots are outlawed, only outlaw robots will have guns.
